In essential hypertension, a blunted or absent nocturnal fall in blood pressure (BP) may be associated with increased target organ damage. In this case-control study, we tested the hypothesis that an association exists between a blunted or absent nocturnal fall in BP and future cardiovascular morbid events in patients with essential hypertension.
