Data are presented as mean value ± SD; FEV1: forced expiratory volume in the 1st second; ∆ D/N: percentage of reduction of nocturnal mean systolic blood pressure values in comparison to diurnal mean systolic blood pressure. SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HR: heart rate; SD: standard deviation.
