“…The role of nighttime BP and PP has been investigated in previous studies. In a long prospective study conducted by Jokiniitty and colleagues, the 3 best BP variables identified in predicting LVMI are 24H PP, nighttime PP, and daytime PP. After 10 years of follow‐up in their study, the change in LVMI was best predicted by the change in casual PP.…”

The two most commonly used strategies to evaluate dialysis patients' blood pressure (BP) level are 44-hour and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). The objective of this study was to find an appropriate 24-hour period that correlated well with the 44-hour BP level and determine the differences between these strategies. In a group of 51 dialysis patients, the authors performed 44-hour ABPM and extracted data for a fixed 24-hour ABPM. The fixed 24-hour ABPM started at 6 AM on the nondialysis day. A strong correlation was found between all parameters of 44-hour and the fixed 24-hour ABPM, with paired sample t test showing only small magnitude changes in a few parameters.Both 24-hour ABPM and 44-hour ABPM were superior to clinic BP in predicting left ventricular mass index (LVMI) by multiple regression analysis. It was found that 44-hour ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI), but not 24-hour AASI, had a positive association with LVMI (r=0.328, P=.021). However, after adjustment for 44-hour systolic blood pressure, this association disappeared. Fixed 24-hour ABPM is a good surrogate of 44-hour ABPM to some extent, while 44-hour ABPM can provide more accurate and detailed information.

“…They demonstrated that the absence of a nocturnal fall in blood pressure (non dipper status) is associated with a higher incidence of LVH. Jokiniitty et al [35] followed up 65 male patients with newly diagnosed hypertension, for 10 years. All their patients had echocardiography at baseline and again on follow up.…”

Hypertension is a well known risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes. In addition, it is associated with earlier changes in organ systems in the body, such as left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), proteinuria and renal failure, retinopathy and vascular dementia which are grouped under the term "target organ damage" (TOD). There are many processes involved in the pathogenesis of TOD and these include endothelial activation, platelet activation, increased thrombogenesis, changes in the renin aldosterone angiotensin system (RAAS), and collagen turnover. All these changes work hand in hand and lead to the production of hypertensive TOD. In this review, we aim to provide an overview of the recent advances in pathophysiology of hypertensive TOD, and examine how these changes lead to the production of TOD. A better understanding of these pathogenic processes would help us better devise treatment strategies in preventing the dreaded complications associated with hypertension.
