Response to Timing of Antihypertensive Therapy and Circadian Blood Pressure Pattern
2009
We thank Almirall et al1 for their interest in our article.2 In the present answer to their letter, we provide data from the Spanish Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Registry regarding clinical differences among patients depending on the time that they received their medication (Table). As shown, several differences were evident among groups, with respect to age, duration of hypertension, prevalence of diabetes mellitus, and history of …
Twenty-four-hour blood pressure profile in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder
2022
Abstract Study Objectives To determine whether autonomic dysfunction in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) affects circadian blood pressure (BP) profile. Methods Twenty-one iRBD (mean age 68.8 ± 6.4, mean age at onset 62.2 ± 9.3), 21 drug-free de novo Parkinson’s disease (PD) and 21 control participants (HCs), comparable for age and sex, underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring. A prospective follow-up study was performed to evaluate the occurrence of neurodegenerative disorders in the iRBD cohort. Results In the iRBD group, nighttime systolic BP (SBP) was higher (124.0 ± 20.0, p = .026), nocturnal BP decrease lower (4.0 ± 8.7% for SBP and 8.7 ± 8.0% for diastolic BP [DBP], p = .0…
