It is unclear at what time-window of the day blood pressure (BP) is most closely associated
with cerebrovascular damage. In this cross-sectional study, we examined the strength of …

Aims Although ambulatory blood pressure (BP) is a better predictor of cardiovascular
outcomes than office BP, its association with subclinical cerebrovascular disease is not …

Objective: Hypertension and intracranial artery stenosis (ICAS) are closely related; however,
few studies have compared the strength of the relationship between strictly measured office …

Cerebrovascular disease is a common cause of death and major cause of disability
worldwide. Even in silent cases (eg, silent cerebral infarction, white matter lesion) …

Background—Cardiovascular events occur most frequently in the morning hours. We
prospectively studied the association between the morning blood pressure (BP) surge and …

Stroke occurs most frequently in the morning hours, but the impact of the morning blood
pressure (BP) level on stroke risk has not been fully investigated in hypertensives. We …

Objective To clarify whether high blood pressure (BP) at a particular time of day is
associated with cerebrovascular and cardiovascular mortality risk. Methods Cerebrovascular …

Background Abnormal circadian blood pressure (BP) variations during sleep, specifically the
non‐dipping (< 10% fall in nocturnal BP) and reverse‐dipping patterns (rise in nocturnal …

OBJECTIVE: Morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) has been shown to be a risk factor for
cardiovascular disease and is associated with vascular remodeling. This study investigated …

Background Whether autonomic dysfunction contributes to cerebral small vessel disease
(CSVD) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between CSVD and …
