Abstract
BP assessed by ABPM is better related to TOD than office measurement. Evaluate TOD patients presented at a Hypertension Lab for first screening. Methods: 278 hypertensive (147 Female, aged 19-89) by 24h-ABPM (SpaceLabs 90307), lab. tests, LVMI by Echo (Terason M3000); Divided in two groups: Controlled [C] by 24h-BP (<130x80 mmHg) and Not controlled [NC] (>130/80 mmHg), albuminuria (ALB) was log transformed in order to allow proper analysis. Dipping pattern 24h-ABPM: dipper (DP) (>10- 20%), nondipper-absente (NDP) (<10%), reverse dipper (RDP)(> 20%). Results: Table 1 and 2 : Demography and ALB,LVMI. No differences detected in lab panel, except Glu, Trygl, ALB and LVMI. Discussion: Expected Higher LVMI, Glu, trygl, ALB levels, in NC group, with significant statistical differences comparing C group. Expected reverse dipping pattern would show differences when compared with dipper pattern but probably the small number of subjects didn’t allow detect such differences. Conclusion: Screening with 24-h ABPM is a valuable tool to hypertensives and dipper pattern should be achived to prevent TOD progression.
