Abstract
Background and Objectives£ºAn increased pulse wave velocity (PWV) and a non-dipping pattern in hypertensive patients have been shown to be associated with an excess of target organ damage. The relationship between the PWV and circadian variation of blood pressure (BP)(dipper or nondipper) were sought, and also the LV diastolic function between dipper and nondipper patients compared.

Subjects and Methods£º44 hypertensive subjects, who had never been treated, were enrolled (mean age: 48¡¾12 yrs, men: 29). The following procedures were undertaken. 1) 24 hour ambulatory BP monitoring; 2) echocardiography for LV geometry, LV mass index (LVMI), LV systolic and diastolic functions, including tissue Doppler and aortic PWV. The patients were divided into two groups with respect to their ambulatory BP profiles, i.e., dipper and nondipper. The PWV, LV geometry and diastolic functions were compared between dipper and nondipper patients, and the relationship between the PWV and diastolic function analyzed in all patients.

Results£ºTwenty (45%) were nondipper patients. There were no significant differences in the LV geometry, LVMI and PWV between dipper and nondipper patients (PWV; 8.8¡¾3.1 vs. 8.6¡¾3.3 m/sec, p>0.05). In all patients, the PWV was related to the deceleration time (r=0.34, p=0.03) and the mitral E/A (r=-0.31, p=0.02) and mitral Em/Am ratios obtained by the tissue Doppler echocardiography (r=-0.31, p=0.03). The proportion with diastolic dysfunction was higher in the nondipper than the dipper patients (21 vs. 50%, p<0.01). There was a significant relation between the PWV and Em (r=-0.45, p=0.047) in the nondipper, but not in the dipper.

Conclusion£ºProlonged exposure to high BP (nondipper) was not related with increased aortic stiffness in never treated hypertensive patients. The PWV was closely related with LV diastolic dysfunction in nondipper patients.
