In this 1-minute video Dr Laura C Armitage explains:
– Typically, night-time blood pressure (BP) drops
– ‘Dippers’ are those with night-time drop and morning rise in BP
– ‘Non-dippers’ have consistent BP
– ‘Reverse dippers’ have BP rise at night
– Reverse dippers have substantially higher night-time BP
– Current failure to identify hypertension in reverse dippers
– Because we don’t look at night-time BP for diagnosis of hypertension
