Key result
Morning blood pressure surge demonstrated small reproducibility, correlated with nighttime blood pressure (p=0.001), and was greater in dippers than nondippers (p<0.05).

MBPS shows limited reproducibility in untreated hypertensives; leaves open its reliability as a risk marker pending validation studies.
Observational (n=36)
p-value: p=0.001
The morning blood pressure surge has low reproducibility and provides distinct hemodynamic information that is independent of blood pressure reactivity to mental stress.
Wang et al. (2007) conducted an observational in untreated hypertension (n=36). Morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) was evaluated on Correlation of MBPS with nighttime BP (p=0.001). Morning blood pressure surge demonstrated small reproducibility, correlated with nighttime blood pressure (p=0.001), and was greater in dippers than nondippers (p<0.05).
