Background: Over the past several years, a variety of human and animal studies have
shown that circadian clocks regulate biological cardiovascular rhythms in both health and …

Stages of different depth characterize the temporal organization of sleep. Each stage exerts
an effect on blood pressure (BP) regulation and contributes to its 24-h variation. The main …

To determine the prognostic significance of ambulatory blood pressure, we prospectively
followed for up to 7.5 years (mean, 3.2) 1187 subjects with essential hypertension and 205 …

We measured 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and diurnal curve of the
intraocular pressure in 166 white patients with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, normal …

It remains uncertain whether abnormal dip** patterns of nocturnal blood pressure
influence the prognosis for stroke. We studied stroke events in 575 older Japanese patients …

To investigate the relation between nocturnal decline in blood pressure and mortality, we
obtained ambulatory blood pressures in 1542 residents aged 40 years or over of a rural …

To study the relation between diurnal blood pressure variations and silent cerebrovascular
damage, we performed both 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and brain …

Objective: To investigate the role of nocturnal arterial hypotension, intraocular pressure
(IOP) and heart rate in optic nerve head (ONH) ischemic disorders, and the effects of …

BACKGROUND In essential hypertension, a blunted or absent nocturnal fall in blood
pressure (BP) may be associated with increased target organ damage. In this case-control …

Background Most healthy people exhibit a decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) at
night. A drop of less than 10% from mean daytime values (nondip**) is associated with …
