Another reason why you should measure blood pressure during a sleep study!

SOMNOmedics Cuffless blood pressure solution

Measure blood pressure during sleep:

A recent study from a team at the Department of Neurology, Chung-Ang University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea have published a study that investigated arterial stiffness related to RLS in acute ischemic stroke patients and its influence on stroke outcome.

They concluded that RLS in patients with acute ischemic stroke is associated with increased arterial stiffness and poor clinical outcomes.

SOMNOmedics has always advocated that sleep laboratories measure blood pressure during sleep – since we discovered the “Superposition-Effect” of blood pressure (the increase of the basal blood pressure after repeated fluctuations) which is easier to detect when you are using our cuffless beat-to-beat blood pressure solution.

The blood pressure add-on module, for measuring blood pressure during sleep, is available for all our devices running the full DOMINO software. Contact your dealer or SOMNOmedics directly for more information.
