EVENTS, PVD
A nondipping 24-hour BP pattern was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality in outpatients with PVD. Nondipping is an independent risk factor for adverse outcomes, and this association might be more potent in patients with ICA stenosis than in patients with lower-extremity PVD. Further studies are needed to evaluate if a nocturnal BP profile can be used clinically to improve risk prediction and to investigate if treatment of nocturnal BP can diminish nondipping and improve prognosis.
