Blood pressure variability and night-time dipping assessed by 24-hour ambulatory monitoring: cross-sectional association with cardiac structure in adolescents
2020-11-23
Abstract excerpt
Greater blood pressure (BP) variability and reduced night-time BP dipping are associated with cardiovascular disease risk independently of mean BP in adults. This study examines whether these associations are apparent in a general population of adolescents. A cross-sectional analysis was undertaken in 587 UK adolescents (mean age 17.7 years; 43.1% male). BP was measured in a research clinic and using 24-hour ambul...
