Objective To explore the features of circadian rhythm of the patients in essential hypertension (EH) with cerebral lacunar infarction (CLI). Methods Totally 146 EH patients were divided into CLI group (with CLI
72 patients) and control group (without CLI
74 patients). All the subjects were subjected to ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Results Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) at night decreased more in the EH patients with CLI than that in EH patients without CLI. Abnormal circadian rhythm occurred in more EH patients with CLI than EH patients without CLI. Conclusion Circadian changes of blood pressure was more serious in EH patients with CLI than in EH patients without CLI
suggesting that the occurrence of CLI in EH patients may be associated with the changes of circadian rhythm.
