Abstract

Nocturnal variations in blood pressure (BP) were associated with carotid intima-media thickness. However, the precise relationship between circadian variations of BP and carotid plaques remains unknown. Therefore, the prognostic value of reverse-dipper pattern of BP for carotid plaque was investigated. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 524 hypertensive patients were recruited and evaluated with ambulatory BP monitoring between April 2012 and June 2013. Carotid plaque was classified into Grade 0 (normal or no observable plaque), Grade 1 (mild stenosis, 1%-24% narrowing), and Grade 2 (moderate stenosis, ≥25% narrowing). Multinomial logistic regression was applied to analyze the relationship between different degrees of carotid plaque and ambulatory BP monitoring results. Reverse-dipper pattern of BP was more common in older patients, smokers, and those with elevated fasting glucose. The incidences of coronary artery disease, lacunar infarction, and diabetes were also higher among hypertensive with reverse-dipper pattern. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that reverse dipper (odds ratio [OR] 2.500; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.320-4.736; P = 0.005), age (OR 1.089; 95% CI 1.067-1.111; P < 0.001), smoke (OR 1...Continue Reading
