  Fig. 1. Nocturnal blood pressure (BP) profiles at 24 h-ambulatory BP monitoring a Physiological nocturnal dipping profile (mean nocturnal BP falls by ≥ 10% with respect to daytime BP), b reduced-dipping profile (mean nocturnal BP falls by < 10% with respect to daytime BP), c rising profile (mean nocturnal BP increases with respect to daytime BP), in a patient with cardiovascular autonomic failure. Note severe hypotension occurring in the early morning. HR Heart rate. The blue area indicates the pulse pressure, the green line indicates the mean BP. Adapted from Fanciulli et al.
