Does morning blood pressure surge associate with cardiovascular remodeling in treated elderly hypertensive patients?
Does morning blood pressure surge associate with cardiovascular remodeling in treated elderly hypertensive patients?
Morning blood pressure surge is independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and increased carotid intima-media thickness in treated elderly hypertensive patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Morning surge may signal higher remodeling risk despite BP control in elderly hypertensives; hypothesis-generating for targeted intervention trials.
Yano et al. (2009) studied this question.
