Description
Summary:J Clin Hypertens(Greenwich). 2010;12:508–515. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. To evaluate the long‐term prognostic significance of different ranges of the percentage fall in nighttime blood pressure (BP) of the nondipping pattern, 1200 hypertensive patients (645 women, age 51±12 years) underwent ambulatory BP monitoring under stabilized therapy. The occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events was followed for 9833 patient‐years and analyzed by the Cox hazard model. There were 152 CV fatal/nonfatal events (79 strokes, 51 coronary events, 22 others) during the 15.2 years of follow‐up. According to nighttime BP fall (%) the authors noted:
