An Extended Follow-Up on Blood Pressure in a Patient With New-Onset Essential Hypertension: Early-Morning Home, Morning Home, and Office Readings

Yukihito Higashi et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

The patient was a 63-year-old man with a 24-year history of hypertension. During long-term follow-up, when outpatient clinic blood pressure and morning blood pressure are well-regulated, exceptionally elevated early-morning blood pressure does not play a significant role in the development of hypertensive target organ disease or cardiovascular disease.

Keywords: early-morning home blood pressure; hypertension; morning home blood pressure; office blood pressure; risk factor.
