Non-dipping blood pressure patterns and associated target organ damage in elderly hypertensive patients

Older adults with hypertension face an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, emphasizing the importance of target organ damage (TOD) in their treatment. The nondipping blood pressure (BP) pattern, characterized by inadequate reduction of nocturnal BP (less than 10-20%), is associated with a higher likelihood of TOD in individuals with essential hypertension. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of non-dipping BP patterns among elderly individuals with essential hypertension and evaluate their associations with TOD.
