Nocturnal blood pressure patterns and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with masked hypertension

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension Aug 03, 2018

Presta V, et al. - Researchers assessed clinical characteristics and CV outcomes of different nocturnal patterns of masked hypertension (MHT) in a large cohort of adult individuals who consecutively had home, clinic, and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring at the hypertension unit between January 2007 and December 2016. Patients with MHT were grouped as nondippers, dippers, and reverse dippers. Findings revealed no significant differences among groups regarding demographics, clinical characteristics, and prevalence of risk factors, excluding older age in reverse dippers vs other groups. They reported a higher burden of BP and a relatively high risk of stroke in MHT with reverse dipping status vs both dipping and nondipping profiles, although a limited number of CV outcomes were recorded during the follow-up.
