Why the study?
Does perceived sleep deprivation during overnight blood pressure monitoring affect the prognostic significance of nighttime blood pressure for cardiovascular events and mortality in untreated hypertensive subjects?
Does perceived sleep deprivation during overnight blood pressure monitoring affect the prognostic significance of nighttime blood pressure for cardiovascular events and mortality in untreated hypertensive subjects?
Nighttime blood pressure loses its prognostic significance for cardiovascular events and mortality in hypertensive patients who experience significant sleep deprivation (≥2 hours) during ambulatory monitoring.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Caution needed when interpreting nighttime BP in hypertensives reporting ≥2h sleep deprivation on ABPM; leaves open whether sleep quality should adjust prognostic models.
Verdecchia et al. (2007) studied this question.
