Prognostic significance of blood pressure measured on rising

Abstract: Previous works using ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring demonstrated that independently of the mean level of BP, the variability in BP, or the day-night range, could have prognostic significance. We have also found that the value of BP on rising in the morning is strongly correlated with left ventricular mass of hypertensive individuals independently of the 24-h value. In the present study, we sought its predictive value for cardiovascular complications in a cohort of hypertensive patients. The populati… Show more

“…Clinically relevant information can be utilized by simply having patients measure their blood pressure in the early morning, soon after arising (20), such readings are elevated in most patients. If they are elevated, the need for more effective, long-acting antihypertensive therapy is established.…”

“…The morning rise in blood pressure represented 36.2% of the total variance of LVMI, and all the remaining factors, including morning HSBP, HOMA-IR and age, represented only 7.9% of the variance. Morning rise in blood pressure (4-6) and high morning blood pressure itself (7-9) have been noted as predictors of hypertensive target organ damage, but these previous studies were mainly population-based studies (5,8) or cross-sectional studies in untreated hypertensive patients (4,7,9). A population-based study in Ohasama showed that subjects with morning HSBP over 138 mmHg had a high relative risk for cardiovascular events compared to normotensive subjects (8).…”

“…It is known that mild elevation of BP and HR result from activation of the autonomic nerve system. In humans, cardiovascular events occur most frequently in the morning, and a steep morning elevation of SBP and HR, along with the resultant higher elevation of DP, are associated with event risk [3,6,9,11]. In dogs, patients with valvular disorder and higher myocardial oxygen consumption due to augmentation of diastolic overload may experience increased cardiac load due to steep elevation of DP at feeding time.…”
