The effect of fixed-dose combination of valsartan and amlodipine on nighttime blood pressure in patients with non-dipper hypertension.
OBJECTIVE Failure to decrease blood pressure (BP) during the night is associated with higher cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. There is strong evidence that fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) of antihypertensive agents are associated with significant improvement and non-significant adverse effects. The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether FDC affected nocturnal BP favorably i...
متن کاملHow reliable is nighttime blood pressure dipping?
This report examines the reliability of nighttime blood pressure dipping. Twenty-one individuals were studied twice with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. On one occasion they were studied as outpatients, and on the other as inpatients on a clinical research ward. Blood pressure monitoring revealed the expected dip in blood pressure at nighttime. However, there was little test-retest reliab...
متن کاملEffects of chronotherapy on blood pressure control in non-dipper patients with refractory hypertension.
BACKGROUND Refractory arterial hypertension (RAH) is frequently associated to a non-dipping blood pressure (BP) pattern; this profile has been shown to have a worse clinical prognosis. It is a common clinical practice that patients receive anti-hypertensive medication preferentially in the morning. Non-dipping could be related to the timing of anti-hypertensive drug administration. We analysed ...
متن کاملIs near basal blood pressure a more accurate predictor of cardiorenal manifestations of hypertension than casual blood pressure?
Measurement of casual and near basal systolic and diastolic blood pressures were correlated with the severity of cardiorenal manifestations of hypertension in 471 patients. There was a significant association of each of the four blood pressure measurements with each other (P < 0.001). Systolic blood pressure and mamfestations of hypertension increased with age. Blacks had higher blood pressures...
متن کاملToward more clinically relevant assessment research.
The purpose of this article is to encourage the design and conduct of more clinically relevant assessment research. The discussion focuses on the distinction between research design elements that are appropriate to the examination of validity versus utility issues in assessment. This was addressed in 2 ways. The first part of the article summarizes the results of an informal methodological revi...
