Blunted nocturnal fall in blood pressure in hypertensive women.

course, significant and warrants careful clinical consideration because this technique could exacerbate hypoxemia in the child with transposition; but the potential advantage of this technique is the ability to eliminate the afterload rapidly. Further experimental work is necessary to determine the minimal afterload requirements to induce sufficient myocardial hypertrophy to sustain the increased ventricular work after arterial switch repair in a child with transposition and whether sufficient hemodynamic/metabolic stability can be maintained with the application of this method.
