Key result
Nondipper hypertension was associated with blunted ultradian and 24-hour blood pressure rhythm amplitudes and a loss of rhythm integrity compared to dipper hypertension and normotension.
Cross-Sectional (n=164)
Nondipper hypertensive patients exhibit a loss of integrity and blunted amplitude in ultradian and 24-hour blood pressure rhythms compared to dippers and normotensives.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Nondipper detection may refine risk stratification in hypertension; leaves open whether rhythm-targeted interventions alter outcomes.
Perez‐Lloret et al. (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=164). Nondipper hypertension vs. Dipper hypertension and normotension was evaluated on Integrity and amplitude of ultradian and 24-hour blood pressure rhythms. Nondipper hypertension was associated with blunted ultradian and 24-hour blood pressure rhythm amplitudes and a loss of rhythm integrity compared to dipper hypertension and normotension.
