Relation of 24-Hour Urinary Aldosterone Levels with Nondipper Blood Pressure Pattern in Normotensive Individuals

Purpose: A lot of studies conducted before have shown that there is a corelation between nondipper pattern with the left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction based on circadian rhythm of the blood preasure (BP). The main aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between the amount of the 24-hour urinary aldosterone and the nondipper pattern of the BP. Method: The study included both an office and ambulatory BP which were monitored in normotensive people (office BP
