Subclinical organ damage represents an intermediate stage in the continuum of vascular disease and a determinant of overall cardiovascular risk. We investigated the associations of pulse wave velocity (PWV), ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI), and office pulse pressure (PP) with several target organ damages (TODs) in newly diagnosed and never-treated patients with essential hypertension with respect to their dipping profile.
