The relationship between diurnal blood pressure abnormalities and target organ damage in normotensive subjects. Which is more important? Increased blood pressure levels or circadian blood pressure abnormalities.

Conclusions: Our results suggested that normotensive persons with CBP abnormalities had TOD. In light of the data of this article, non-dipper status is detected in the early period and if the provision of diurnal blood pressure rhythm may reduce the incidence of future adverse events in nondipper normotensive subjects.
