circadian blood pressure variability in normo and hypertensive diabetic patients
background: diabetic patients have a higher prevalence of non-dipping pattern in blood pressure (bp) than general population. non-dipping arterial pressure pattern is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. the objective of this study was to investigate the association between the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of the diabetic patients with circadian bp variability. m aterials...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Blood Pressure Variability and Average Blood Pressure Levels in Patients With Hypertension and Diabetes
E levated blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality (1) and a leading contributor to the global disease burden (2). Overwhelming evidence is now available showing that BP measured in the office shows a linear relationship with a number of CV and renal outcomes as well as with overall mortality and that lowering of office BP (OBP) with treatment is e...
متن کاملBlood Pressure Variability and Its Management in Hypertensive Patients
Optimizing treatment for hypertension has focused on reducing cardiovascular risk through reduction of mean blood pressure (BP) under the basic assumption that lower is better, as long as diastolic BP is sufficient to maintain coronary perfusion. However, antihypertensive therapy as currently practiced does not eliminate all hazards associated with BP elevation. Blood pressure variability (BPV)...
متن کاملLacidipine and blood pressure variability in diabetic hypertensive patients.
The aim of our study was to assess the effects of lacidipine, a long-acting calcium antagonist, on 24-hour average blood pressure, blood pressure variability, and baroreflex sensitivity. In 10 mildly to moderately hypertensive patients with type II diabetes mellitus (aged 18 to 65 years), 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure was continuously monitored noninvasively (Portapres device) after a 3-wee...
متن کاملVariability of circadian blood pressure profile during 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND Evaluation of circadian blood pressure (BP) profile is an important element of ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Abnormal nocturnal fall in BP is more common in patients with secondary causes of hypertension and in the elderly. Cardiovascular risk is substantially increased in these patients. AIM Analysis of circadian BP profile in a population of treated hypertensives and identific...
