Check Your EligibilitySupine hypertension is a common problem that affects at least 50% of patients with primary autonomic failure. Supine hypertension can be severe and complicates the treatment of orthostatic hypotension. The purpose of this study is to assess whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) decreases blood pressure in autonomic failure patients with supine hypertension.
