Absence Of Sympathetic Vasodilation During Mental Stress With Non‐Dipping Circadian Blood Pressure Pattern In Young White And Black Adults Could Be An Early Indicator Of Hypertension
Abstract:People of Black African ethnicity (BA) have greater prevalence of hypertension compared with those of White European ethnicity (WE) and are at greater risk of developing hypertension‐associated cardiovascular disease (CVD). Older WE non‐dipper hypertensives show endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction and higher prevalence of non‐dipping nocturnal blood pressure have been documented in Blacks relative to Whites. Novel environmental stress stimuli evoke sympathetic vasoconstriction in renal and splanch… Show more
