Abstract
Objective To investigate the correlation between morning blood pressure surge and resting heart rate, and the influence on target organs in patients with essential hypertention. Methods According to 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring profiles, 88cases were divided into morning blood pressure surge group (surge group) and morning blood pressure normal group (normal group). The levels of cholesterol, body mass index (BMI), left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were detected. HOLTER were used for recording the RHR. Results The blood pressure of whole day, day and night in surge group were significantly higher than those in normal group. Morning systolic blood pressure-variability was significantly higher. LVMI and RHR in surge group were higher than those in normal group (P0.05). There was no differece between two groups in age, BMI (P0.05). Conclusion Morning blood pressure surge can increase RHR, and LVMI also increase obviously.So lowering the morning blood pressure surge is a sensible way in hypertension management.
