Journal ArticleDOI
Nocturnal blood pressure changes in patients with restless legs syndrome
TL;DR: periodic leg movements–related repetitive nocturnal blood pressure fluctuations could contribute to the risk of cardiovascular diseases in patients with restless legs syndrome, especially in the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nighttime Blood Pressure in Normotensive Subjects With Chronic Insomnia: Implications for Cardiovascular Risk
Paola Lanfranchi,Marie-Hélène Pennestri,Lorraine Fradette,Marie Dumont,Charles M. Morin,Jacques Montplaisir +5 more
TL;DR: Higher nighttime SBP and blunted day-to-night SBP dipping are present in normotensive subjects with chronic insomnia and are associated with a hyperactivity of the central nervous system during sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
PLMS and PLMW in healthy subjects as a function of age: prevalence and interval distribution.
Marie-Hélène Pennestri,Shirley Whittom,Benoit Adam,Dominique Petit,Julie Carrier,Jacques Montplaisir +5 more
TL;DR: It is illustrated that interval evaluation is an important feature of the calculation of periodic movements to discriminate spontaneous motor activity from PLMS or PLMW in relationship with age in a population of healthy subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood pressure changes associated with periodic leg movements during sleep in healthy subjects
Marie-Hélène Pennestri,Jacques Montplaisir,Lorraine Fradette,Gilles Lavigne,Roberto Colombo,Paola Lanfranchi +5 more
TL;DR: PLMS were associated with sudden and significant increases of HR, SBP and DBP in both groups; however, cardiovascular increases were more pronounced in RLS subjects than in healthy subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Profiles of sleep changes during the COVID-19 pandemic: Demographic, behavioural and psychological factors.
Rébecca Robillard,Karianne Dion,Marie-Hélène Pennestri,Elizaveta Solomonova,E Lee,Mysa Saad,Anthony Murkar,Roger Godbout,Jodi D. Edwards,Lena C. Quilty,Lena C. Quilty,Alexander R. Daros,Raj Bhatla,Raj Bhatla,Tetyana Kendzerska +14 more
TL;DR: The heterogeneity of sleep changes in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic highlights the need for tailored interventions to address sleep problems.
