Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dip in Stroke Survivors, A Pilot Study Stroke 26:1373-1378, Nakamura,K.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract All subjects who developed a recurrent attack during sleep had had a nocturnal blood pressure dip pattern before the attack.Furthermore,the increase in symptomatic(recurrence)and/or asymptomatic(silent)brain lesions was more frequent in the nocturnal dippers than in the nondippers (9 of 14 versus 2 of 18,P<.01).In the nontreated group,no clear difference was found between the two subgroups.This study indicated that the nocturnal blood pressure dip in patients treated with antihypertensive agents may accelerate the increase in ischemic brain lesions.
