    CPAP has a number of benefits for your heart and blood vessels.

    CPAP reduces:

    • High blood pressure, especially when medication has not been effective
    • Heart rate variability, so your heart keeps a steady rhythm
    • The stiffness in your arteries so they can relax and dilate if necessary to allow more blood to flow through them
    • Inflammation in your arteries, reducing the chances of fatty deposits collecting in them.
