Obesity is a worldwide pandemic contributing to the hypertensive state and to the
cardiovascular morbidity leading to an increase in hospitalizations, events and cost to the …

The prognostic importance of the nocturnal systolic blood pressure (SBP) fall, adjusted for
average 24-hour SBP levels, is unclear. The Ambulatory Blood Pressure Collaboration in …

Background: Ambulatory and home blood pressure (BP) monitoring parameters are better
predictors of cardiovascular events than are office BP monitoring parameters, but there is a …

Blood pressure variability is an entity that characterizes the continuous and dynamic
fluctuations that occur in blood pressure levels throughout a lifetime. This phenomenon has …

Physiological studies have long documented the key role played by the autonomic nervous
system in modulating cardiovascular functions and in controlling blood pressure values …

Most bodily functions vary over the course of a 24 h day. Circadian rhythms in body
temperature, sleep-wake cycles, metabolism, and blood pressure (BP) are just a few …

Accumulating evidence suggests that the molecular circadian clock is crucial in blood
pressure (BP) control. Circadian rhythms are controlled by the central clock, which resides in …

Background Renal sympathetic hyperactivity is associated with hypertension and its
progression, chronic kidney disease, and heart failure. We did a proof-of-principle trial of …

Background—Catheter-based renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) reduces office blood
pressure (BP) in patients with resistant hypertension according to office BP. Less is known …

Background We and other investigators previously reported that isolated nocturnal
hypertension on ambulatory measurement (INH) clustered with cardiovascular risk factors …
