Is morning surge in blood pressure associated with reactivity of the sympathetic nervous system?
These results suggest that the central nervous system mechanisms influencing the increase in MSNA burst amplitude during arousal may also be fundamental in determining the rate and power of BP rise during the morning period.
CVT in BS was strongly associated with peripheral major vessel disease and occurred earlier in the disease course than the parenchymal type of CNS disease. As superficial thrombophlebitis also occurs more frequently in patients with major vessel disease in BS, this may suggest a common pathogenic mechanism.
