ABSTRACT
To date, no model has jointly encompassed clinical, inflammatory, and redox markers with the risk of a non-dipper blood pressure (BP) profile. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between these features and the main twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24-h ABPM) indices, as well as to establish a multivariate model including inflammatory, redox, and clinical markers for the prediction of a non-dipper BP profile. This was an observational study that included hypertensive patients older than 18 years. We enrolled 247 hypertensive patients (56% women) with a median age of 56 years. The results showed that higher levels of fibrinogen, tissue polypeptide-specific antigen, beta-2-microglobulin, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and copper/zinc ratio were associated with a higher risk of a non-dipper BP profile. Nocturnal systolic BP dipping showed a negative correlation with beta-globulin, beta-2-microglobulin, and gamma-globulin levels, whereas nocturnal diastolic BP dipping was positively correlated with alpha-2-globulin levels, and negatively correlated with gamma-globulin and copper levels. We found a correlation between nocturnal pulse pressure and beta-2-microglobulin and vitamin E levels, whereas the day-to-night pulse pressure gradient was correlated with zinc levels. Twenty-four-hour ABPM indices could exhibit singular inflammatory and redox patterns with implications that are still poorly understood. Some inflammatory and redox markers could be associated with the risk of a non-dipper BP profile.
