Supports SBP dipping reproducibility with sleep-awake patterns; challenges limited-reproducibility consensus but remains hypothesis-generating.
Is sleep-induced systolic blood pressure dipping reproducible in clinical practice when accounting for sleep-awake patterns?
When accounting for actual sleep-awake patterns rather than arbitrary day-night definitions, sleep-induced systolic blood pressure dipping is a highly reproducible feature of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Ben‐Dov et al. (2005) studied this question.
