Why the study?
Does blood pressure lowering therapy modulate the diurnal patterns of brachial and central aortic blood pressure in patients with hypertension?
Does blood pressure lowering therapy modulate the diurnal patterns of brachial and central aortic blood pressure in patients with hypertension?
Brachial and central blood pressures exhibit different diurnal patterns with relatively higher night-time central pressures that are not modulated by BP-lowering therapy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Nighttime central pressure predominance persists despite BP lowering; extends evidence that diurnal central-brachial patterns are therapy-resistant.
Williams et al. (2013) studied this question.
