High prevalence of non-dipping patterns among Black Africans with uncontrolled hypertension: a secondary analysis of the CREOLE trial

Abstract: Background Dipping of blood pressure (BP) at night is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, a non-dipping pattern is associated with hypertension mediated organ damage, secondary forms of hypertension and poorer long-term outcome. Identifying a non-dipping pattern may be useful in assessing risk, aiding the decision to investigate for secondary causes, initiating treatment, assisting decisions on choice and timing of antihypertensive therapy, and intensifying salt restriction. … Show more

“…While nocturnal BP dipping may impact on 24-hour BP variability, 26 it is reassuring that 78% of CREOLE participants were classified as nondippers 27 and similar low degrees of dipping occurred across all 3 groups of patients. Consequently, we did not apply a weighted SD to adjust for night-time falls.…”
