Background/aim: It has been suggested that there is a significant progress in coronary artery disease (CAD) by many pathophysiological mechanisms. Nondipper hypertension (NDH) has been shown to have higher target organ damage and have a higher rate of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. In this study, we investigated the effect of nondipper hypertension on the progression of coronary atherosclerosis.
Materials And Methods: A total of 186 patients who underwent coronary angiography twice between 6 months and 3 years were included in the study. Coronary angiography was repeated on the admission day due to angina or positive exercise test and the patients were divided into groups.
Results: Progression of coronary artery disease was detected in 58 of 186 patients. Seventy-one of the total patients were found to be nondipper hypertensive. Nondipper hypertension, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, low-density lipoprotein, and total cholesterol were found to be effective in the progression of CAD. Among these parameters, it was seen that nondipper hypertension and hyperlipidemia were the most important independent risk factors.
Conclusion: Coronary artery disease is a progressive disease, and this progression depends on many reasons. In our study, we showed that nondipper hypertension is a new parameter that is effective in CAD progression.

Systemic hypertension is possibly the most important modifiable risk factor for the development of cognitive decline, both for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. For effective blood pressure (BP) control, it requires proper assessment, using brachial, central, and ambulatory measurements, and monitoring with a focus on different BP parameters. Different BP parameters like pulse pressure, mean arterial pressure, BP variability, and circadian parameters, like nondippers and early morning surge, should be considered in the evaluation for the risk of cognitive decline due to hypertension in middle age and older adults.

Hematologic malignancies are a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease development. Chemotherapeutic protocols commonly include intensive fluid therapy (IFT), which may negatively influence the cardiovascular system and predispose to arterial hypertension. This study aims to evaluate atrial natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT), and changes in blood pressure in children with hematological malignancies undergoing intensive fluid therapy.

: 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.

Objective: We conducted a study titled for Investigation on the characteristics of 24-hour blood pressure (BP) dipping patterns in hypertensive stroke patients.
Methods: Descriptive research, analysis, and comparison, the research was conducted from July 2019 to September 2020 at the Vietnam Heart Institute - Bach Mai Hospital. There are 100 patients diagnosed with idiopathic hypertension who were divided into two groups (without stroke complications and another group with chronic stroke complications > 6 weeks), both groups were similar in age (45-64 years old).
Objective: Aim: To determine the peculiarities of the daily prof i le of blood pressure in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and vitamin D def i ciency and insuf f i ciency, to evaluate the parameters of the lipid prof i le and quality of life in these patients.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: A total number of 97 patients with uncomplicated AH stage 1 and 2 were divided into 3 groups depending on the level of vitamin D in the blood serum. All patients underwent office blood pressure (BP) measurement and daily ambulatory BP monitoring for 24 hours, biochemical blood test with the determination of indicators of lipid metabolism, questionnaires for quality of life indicators.
