Is there any true distinction in extreme dipping versus nondipping or dipping phenotype regarding hypertension-mediated organ damage in newly diagnosed and never-treated hypertensive patients?

Abstract excerpt

Dipping phenomena is defined as nocturnal BP fall >10% during 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) which carries a favorable cardiovascular risk (CVR) prognosis due to reduced 24-h hypertension burden.
