Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Blood Pressure Circadian Rhythm in Patients with Essential Hypertension, and Differences in Blood Lipids and Carotid Plaque Formation Among Patients with Different Blood Pressure Circadian Rhythms

Key Points

This research aims to explore the relationship between body mass index and blood pressure circadian rhythms in patients with essential hypertension.
Correlational analysis of BMI and blood pressure patterns in patients with essential hypertension.
Assessment of blood lipid levels and carotid plaque formation among different BP circadian rhythm groups.
Abnormal circadian BP rhythms correlate with higher BMI levels in patients with hypertension.
Patients with abnormal rhythms showed elevated blood lipid levels and increased carotid plaque formation.

Abstract

In patients with essential hypertension, elevated BMI levels and carotid plaque formation may be associated with abnormal circadian BP rhythms. Patients with abnormal circadian BP rhythms exhibit varying degrees of elevated blood lipid levels, which may also be correlated with carotid plaque formation.
