Relation of nocturnal blood pressure dipping to cellular adhesion, inflammation and hemostasis

BACKGROUNDSubjects who fail to dip their nocturnal blood pressure (BP) are at substantially increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. The pathogenetic mechanisms of this relationship have not been elucidated. We investigated whether non-dipping would relate to procoagulant and proinflammatory acti...
