Background: Hypertension has shown a trend of prevalence at younger ages, and the non-dipping pattern is associated with target organ damage in hypertension. However, few studies have yet investigated the clinical characteristics and risk factors of non-dipper status in essential hypertension children. This study aimed to explore the clinical characteristics and possible indicators associated with non-dipper status in children with essential hypertension.

: Hypertension is typically classified into two main groups, "dipper" and "non-dipper", based on nocturnal blood pressure decline. The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is an essential biomarker used to assess the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between CACS and hypertensive patients with moderate-to-high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk classified as either dipper or non-dipper.

Nocturnal blood pressure (BP) dipping is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, independent of nighttime BP levels. We compared nocturnal BP dipping detected by conventional ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) with that detected by nocturnal home BP monitoring (HBPM), which can measure BP during sleep with a timer function. We analyzed data of 927 subjects in the nationwide practice-based J-HOP Nocturnal BP Study and observed that the prevalences of nocturnal BP dipping status for HBPM and ABPM respectively were: extreme dipper, 6.

: Non-dipper hypertension (HT), a condition in which blood pressure does not drop sufficiently at night compared to daytime, is considered a serious condition that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and organ damage. This study aimed to examine the relationship between dipper and non-dipper blood pressure patterns, hepatosteatosis, and biochemical markers in hypertensive and normotensive individuals. Demographic, biochemical, and hepatic ultrasonography data from 142 patients who underwent 24 h ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM) were evaluated retrospectively and cross-sectionally in this study.
