Is home blood pressure control low during the critical morning hours in patients with hypertension : the SURGE observational study?
Morning HBP control was low in this large hypertensive population. The improvement in BP control observed may be associated with inclusion in a study; this could indicate low medication compliance in general practices but may also be attributable to the use of agents that cannot sustain 24-hour BP control.
An immediate clinical application of the data is cardiac miR profiling to assess the risk of virus persistence and progressive clinical deterioration in CVB3 cardiomyopathy. Patients at risk are eligible for immediate antiviral therapy to minimize irreversible cardiac damage.
