To dip or not to dip? The unique relationship between different blood pressure patterns and cardiac function and structure

Por: B A Ivanovic, M V Tadic y V P Celic.  Journal of Human Hypertension (2013) 27, 62–70.

Dipping and nondipping blood pressure (BP) patterns are associated with different levels of target organ damage and cardiovascular risk. The aim of our investigation was to determine the relationship between different BP patterns (dipping, nondipping, extreme dipping and reverse dipping type) and cardiac structure, and function in hypertensive patients.
