Prognostic value of nocturnal blood pressure reduction in resistant hypertension.
BACKGROUND The prognostic value of nocturnal blood pressure (BP) reduction in resistant hypertension (RH) is unknown. The objective of this prospective study was to evaluate its importance as a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. METHODS At baseline, 556 patients with RH underwent clinical and laboratory examinations and 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring. The primary end point...
متن کاملNocturnal blood pressure dipping in the hypertension of autonomic failure.
Blood pressure (BP) normally decreases during the night. Absence of this phenomenon (nondipping) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Altered autonomic and endocrine circadian rhythms are suspected to play a role. Patients with peripheral autonomic failure offer a unique opportunity to study this phenomenon, because approximately 50% develop supine hypertension despite very low aut...
متن کاملAmbulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in Resistant Hypertension
ABPM constitutes a valuable tool in the diagnosis of RH. The identification of white coat RH and masked hypertension (which may fulfill or not the definition of RH) is of great importance in the clinical management of such patients. Moreover, the various ABPM components such as average BP values, circadian BP variability patterns, and ambulatory BP-derived indices, such as ambulatory arterial s...
متن کاملNocturnal 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...
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...
