How 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 کاملPredictive role of the nighttime blood pressure.
Numerous studies addressed the predictive value of the nighttime blood pressure (BP) as captured by ambulatory monitoring. However, arbitrary cutoff limits in dichotomized analyses of continuous variables, data dredging across selected subgroups, extrapolation of cross-sectional studies to prospective outcomes, and lack of comprehensive adjustments for confounders make interpretation of the lit...
متن کاملRenal sodium handling and nighttime blood pressure.
Blood pressure follows a circadian rhythm with a physiologic 10% to 20% decrease during the night. There is now increasing evidence that a blunted decrease or an increase in nighttime blood pressure is associated with a greater prevalence of target organ damage and a faster disease progression in patients with chronic kidney diseases. Several factors contribute to the changes in nighttime blood...
متن کاملNighttime blood pressure: a target for therapy?
Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring is increasingly used in the evaluation of hypertensive patients. The ability to monitor BP throughout the day and night allows the detection of abnormal nocturnal BP patterns, the most common being a "nondipping" pattern, which is associated with increased cardiovascular risk; its correction appears to have a positive impact on cardiovascular outcome. A...
متن کاملNighttime activity influences the evaluation of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Nighttime Activity Influences the Evaluation of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Agarwal et al1 in which the authors concluded that nocturia among nighttime physically active patients is associated with nondipping blood pressure pattern in mostly elderly patients with chronic kidney disease. There are several factors that make the re...
