In the present sample of outpatients with PVD, nondipping was an independent predictor of cardiovascular events or all-cause death. Nondipping remained significantly associated with prognosis when adjusting for age, sex, 24-hour BP levels, and established cardiovascular risk factors. Dipping status also improved risk prediction when added to the validated COPART risk score. Our findings show that the previously reported association between nondipping and adverse events in the general population also holds for patients with PVD.
