摘要:
ObjectiveTo evaluate in a selected population of subjects with a recent diagnosis of hypertension whether a blunted nocturnal fall in blood pressure is associated with more advanced cardiac and vascular damage.MethodsOne hundred and eleven recently diagnosed and never-treated patients with mild essential hypertension underwent 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), echocardiography and carotid ultrasonography.ConclusionThese results suggest that a blunted reduction in night-time blood pressure does not play a major role in the development of cardiovascular changes during the early phase of essential hypertension.
