Non-dipping on single ABPM should not alter LVH risk stratification in treated hypertension; leaves open role of repeated monitoring or other phenotypes.
Does a non-dipping blood pressure pattern associate with increased left ventricular hypertrophy in treated essential hypertensive patients?
In treated essential hypertensive patients, a non-dipping blood pressure profile on a single ABPM is not associated with greater left ventricular mass or hypertrophy.
Cuspidi et al. (2003) studied this question.
