Pathological surge blood pressure (BP) detected by a new beat-by beat 'surge' BP monitoring and BP surge detection algorithm. A, Data showing suppression of BP surges trigged by apneic episodes during sleep in a 77-y-old woman with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and obstructive sleep apnea. Sleep surge systolic (red dots) and diastolic (green dots) BP values were detected by the newly developed nocturnal beat-by-beat continuous BP monitoring (tonometry method) at baseline (treatment regimen: amlodipine 5 mg/d, aspirin 100 mg/d, and sitagliptin 25 mg/d) (left) and after 4 wk of add-on therapy with dapagliflozin 10 mg/d (right). B, The upper panels show the distribution of systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) before (left) and after (right) 4 wk of dapagliflozin. The lower panels show nighttime BP surges detected by a newly developed surge autodetection algorithm.
