Extreme dipping: is the cardiovascular risk increased? An unsolved issueExtreme dipping (i.e. a marked blood pressure fall during night-time period) is an alteration of circadian blood pressure (BP) rhythm frequently observed in the setting of systemic hypertension as well as in the general population. Some reports have suggested that cardiovascular prognosis in extreme dippers (ED) is similar as in dippers, whereas other studies have documented either a better or worse prognosis in ED. Available...
