Abnormal blood pressure circadian rhythm: a target organ damage?

International Journal of Cardiology

Abstract

Blood pressure (BP) varies according to cycles characterized by a reduction during sleep and an increase on awakening. The nighttime decrease is absent or blunted in some patients (termed "non-dippers"). Cross-sectional and prospective data have shown that non-dippers have more target organ damage than have dippers in normotensive and hypertensive subjects. We reviewed the English language literature regarding this association. A non-fortuitous association seems to exist between non-dipper status and cardiovascular risk such as stroke and cardiac events. Among diabetic patients, this phenomenon has been described to occur more often in individuals with autonomic neuropathy and with different degrees of diabetic nephropathy. In normoalbuminuric normotensive type I diabetic patients without any degree of autonomic dysfunction, according to traditional cardiovascular tests, diastolic BP (dBP) night/day ratio is associated with an increased glomerular filtration rate and an increased extracellular volume. The disruption of the circadian rhythm of sympathovagal activity in non-dipper patients was associated with higher levels in systolic BP (sBP) and dBP and with a reduced decline in sBP and dBP levels during the night. Therefore, t...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
