However, the clinical significance of nocturnal hypertension in patients of very advanced age remains unexplored. We aimed to assess the association between nocturnal hypertension and composite cardiovascular outcomes in this population. METHODS: This was a prospective observational study including Japanese elderly outpatients aged \u226580 years. All patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring at baseline. Nocturnal hypertension was defined as nocturnal systolic BP \u2265120 mm Hg or diastolic BP\u226570 mm Hg. Daytime hypertension was defined as daytime systolic BP \u2265135 mm Hg and diastolic BP \u226585 mm Hg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RESEARCH ARTICLE: nocturnal hypertension and prognosis in patients of very advanced age.
