血压晨峰(morning blood pressure surge)是心血管事件的预测因素。然而,血压晨峰的决定因素尚不清楚,尤其是种族差异对其水平的影响。该研究探讨日本和西欧高血压患者的血压晨峰水平是否存在差异。方法:按照相同的入选标准,纳入欧洲动态血压监测数据库的2887例[(62.3±8.8)岁]和日本自治医科大学动态血压监测数据库的811例[(72.3±9.8)岁]未经治疗的高血压患者,分析其24h动态血压监测记录,尤其是血压晨峰情况。血压晨峰定义为起床后2h Morning blood pressure surge is a predictor of cardiovascular events. However, the determinants of the morning surge in blood pressure are unclear, especially the impact of racial differences on their levels. This study examined whether there is a difference in morning blood pressure levels among hypertensive patients in Japan and Western Europe. METHODS: According to the same inclusion criteria, 2887 (62.3 ± 8.8) years of age included in the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring database of Europe and 811 patients with (72.3 ± 9.8) years of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring database at the Autonomous Medical University of Japan were untreated Blood pressure patients, analysis of 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring records, especially blood pressure morning peak conditions. Blood pressure morning peak is defined as 2h after wake up
