Non-Dipper and Inappropriate Left Ventricular Mass in Hypertensive Patients
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) provides a lot of information on diurnal blood pressure (BP) profiles. In most of the population, night time BP values are 10-20% lower than day time BP values (dipper), whereas in the minority of the population, the nocturnal BP decrease is blunted or even absent (non-dipper). The non-dipper phenotype has been shown to be highly prevalent in various ...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular function and peripheral vascular arterial stiffness in patients with dipper and non-dipper hypertension
A non-dipper pattern of high blood pressure is associated with increased risk of organ damage and cardiovascular disease in patients with hypertension. The aim of the study was to evaluate the left ventricular (LV) remodeling and function and arterial stiffness in a dipper/non-dipper pattern of high blood pressure in patients with hypertension. A total of 183 hypertensive patients with no histo...
متن کاملNon-Dipper Pattern is a Determinant of the Inappropriateness of Left Ventricular Mass in Essential Hypertensive Patients
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inappropriately high left ventricular mass (iLVM) is known to be related to cardiovascular prognosis. A non-dipper pattern has a greater mean left ventricular (LV) mass than the dipper pattern in hypertensive patients. However, the appropriateness of LV mass in dipper or non-dipper patterns has not been adequately investigated. The aim of this study was to define the r...
متن کاملComparison of left atrial volume and function in non-dipper versus dipper hypertensives: A real-time three-dimensional echocardiography study
OBJECTIVE Non-dipper hypertension is associated with an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Besides this, the left atrial (LA) size and functions are accepted to be prognostic factors in various cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of nondipper hypertension on LA volume and functions using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT3-DE). ...
متن کاملSeasonal variation of fibrinogen in dipper and nondipper hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND A seasonal variation with higher values in winter has been previously reported in plasma fibrinogen, a recognized marker of the potential risk of myocardial infarction and stroke. The lack of nocturnal decline in blood pressure has also been associated with an increase in cardiovascular events. Accordingly, we have compared the yearly variation of plasma fibrinogen in dipper and nond...
