What does nighttime hypertension indicate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nocturnal htn: This is a concern. It predicts fixed htn. It means that blood vessels are stiff and heart is less flexible and renal excretion of salt is altered toward mild retention. Nocturnal htn, or nondipping bp at night, indicate eventual 24 hr htn.
