High prevalence of nocturnal arterial hypertension and non-dipping in lung transplant recipients.

摘要: Objective— An abnormal circadian blood pressure (BP) profile is associated with adverse cardiovascular and all-cause outcomes. It highly prevalent after heart, liver kidney transplantation. We aimed to assess the prevalence of an ambulatory BP pattern in lung transplant recipients (LTx).Methods— Ambulatory monitoring (ABPM) was performed 53 LTx compared those 42 control subjects matched for age, gender daytime BP. In 19 patients whom at least two recordings were performed, we first last one.Results— The non-dipping (a less than 10% reduction nocturnal BP) more (89 versus 64%, P < 0.01). Nighttime higher (P 0.01 0.001 systolic (SBP) diastolic (DBP), respectively). lower (3 8% SBP 6 13% DBP, both 0.001). These results remained significant...
