“…The number of male patients was more than women in nondippers. 21 Pellegrino et al 22 indicated that CIMT is higher in patients with HT than normal individuals and higher in nondippers than dippers. There was no significant difference according to hyperlipidemia, family history, smoking status, and BMI between nondippers and dippers.…”

“…12,13 Pierdomanico et al found significant increase in the prevalence of atherosclerotic plaques in the carotid arteries of nondippers. 21 Pellegrino et al 22 indicated that CIMT is higher in patients with HT than normal individuals and higher in nondippers than dippers. Similarly, in this study, CIMT was found higher in nondippers than dippers.…”
In our study, we showed that impairment of aortic elasticity parameters and increase in CIMT as a predictor of end organ damage were more often in the nondipper hypertensive patients.

Relative night-time drop in blood pressure is greater in women than in men, diminishes with age and depends on the day-time ambulatory pressure. In women a minor night-time drop in blood pressure is associated with greater organic damage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
