C037 Lean subjects show no correlation between nocturnal blood pressure and target organ damage

Nocturnal hypertension: poor correlation with office blood pressure but strong prognostic factor for target organ damage.

INTRODUCTION We investigated the correlation between systolic and diastolic nocturnal blood pressure (BP) values and office BP values, as well as parameters of 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring, in patients with hypertension. In addition, we compared nocturnal hypertensives with nocturnal normotensives regarding their demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics, as well as other data f...

Awake systolic blood pressure variability correlates with target-organ damage in hypertensive subjects.

Growing evidence associates blood pressure (BP) variability with cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients. Here we tested the existence of a relationship between awake BP variability and target-organ damage in subjects referred for suspected hypertension. Systolic and diastolic BP variability were assessed as the standard deviation of the mean out of 24-hour, awake and asleep BP recording...

Pulse Pressure and Target Organ Damage

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and organ damage.

Several papers have suggested that 24-hour average blood pressure (BP) is superior to office BP in relation to hypertension target organ damage. This review article will specifically address the evidence provided in this regard by either cross-sectional or longitudinal studies. It will also critically discuss the available data supporting the concept that not only 24-hour average BP values, but...
