Research advances of effect of morning blood pressure surge on target organ damage

Abstract:

In recent years，morning blood pressure surge（MBPS） has been taken as an indicator of hypertension. At home and abroad，a number of studies have confirmed that the MBPS is one of the risk factors of cardiovascular events such as stroke，myocardial in－farction，angina pectoris，malignant arrhythmia，which independent of average systolic and diastolic pressure. MBPS can accelerate the heart，brain，kidney，arteries and other target organ damage，and can also increase the incidence of cardiovascular events. By searching the database of CNKI，VIP，Wan Fang，PubMed etc，the author included the clinical trials of MBPS from 2003 to 2013 and discussed on the definition and classification of MBPS and the relationship between MBPS and target organ damage.
