  ABSTRACT: When blood pressure values remain above the target in a hypertensive patient treated concomitantly with three anti-hypertensive drugs including a diuretic, maximum well-tolerated doses, this is a resistant arterial hypertension. In this case, it is advisable to look for a secondary cause such as a drug intake that influencing the blood pressure or the presence of obstructive sleeping syndrome (OSAS).We report a clinical case of a patient with a high cardiovascular risk at the age of 50, hypertensive and diabetic, with dyslipidemia and obesity. He was on anti-hypertensive triple therapy at an optimal dose. Her diabetes wasbalanced with 6.4% glycated hemoglobin. Dyslipidemia has being treated.Despite healthy diet including a low sodium diet and weight loss, bloodpres-sure target was not reached.With self-measurement, the mean arterialpressurewas 180/110 mmHg and on ABPM it was 167/113 mmHg.The ventilatorypolygraphy finds a severe OSA with an IAH = 56.6. Treatment with PCP(Con-tinuous positive pressure) allowed this patient to control blood pressure.Thesearch for OSA should be systematic in face of resistant hypertension, inpar-ticular in overweight or obese patients.
