Neuroendocrine mechanisms are major determinants of the normal 24-h blood pressure
(BP) pattern. At the central level, integration of the major driving factors of this temporal …

The development and clinical application of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (AbpM)
has brought several of the main features of the circadian blood pressure (bp) rhythm to light …

Background Most healthy people exhibit a decrease in systolic blood pressure (SBP) at
night. A drop of less than 10% from mean daytime values (nondipping) is associated with …

The physiological mechanisms mediating the variability and diurnal rhythm of blood
pressure are unclear. We tested the hypothesis that resting sympathetic activity is linked to …

Purpose Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension is a prominent and disabling manifestation of
autonomic dysfunction in patients with hereditary transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis affecting …

The circadian blood pressure (BP) rhythm is associated with worsened cardiovascular
outcomes in patients who have an excessive morning BP surge and in those who lack the …

Flash pulmonary edema (FPE) is a general clinical term used to describe a particularly
dramatic form of acute decompensated heart failure. Well-established risk factors for heart …

The physiology of a wide variety of organisms is organized according to periodic
environmental changes imposed by the earth's rotation. This way, a large number of …

Background—Transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy is a hereditary form of
amyloidosis characterized by sensorimotor and autonomic neuropathy, cardiac conduction …

Blood pressure (BP) normally decreases during the night. Absence of this phenomenon
(nondipping) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Altered autonomic and …
