Why the study?
Is base heart rate during sleep higher in patients with essential hypertension compared to normotensive subjects?
Is base heart rate during sleep higher in patients with essential hypertension compared to normotensive subjects?
Base heart rate during sleep is significantly higher in hypertensive patients compared to normotensive subjects and is closely related to cardiac function.

Higher nocturnal base HR in hypertension may signal autonomic or cardiac changes; leaves open prognostic value and need for longitudinal studies.
Tochikubo et al. (2001) studied this question.
