TL;DR: This study shows that patients with masked hypertension are at higher risk than those with responder hypertension, and that those with false resistant hypertension areat lower risk than Those with true resistant hypertension.

TL;DR: In this largest meta-analysis of hypertensive patients, the nocturnal BP fall provided substantial prognostic information, independent of 24-hour SBP levels, and heterogeneity was low for systolic night-to-day ratio and Reverse dipping and moderate for extreme dippers.

TL;DR: Cardiovascular risk is not significantly different between WCH and normotension, regardless of normotensive population type and follow-up length, however, at follow- up drug therapy was more frequent in WCH than innormotension and its possible impact on outcome should be evaluated in future studies.

TL;DR: High ARV of daytime systolic BP resulted in an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients, while high s.d. of daytime and night time BP were not significantly associated with risk or were not independent predictors of outcome.

TL;DR: The thiobarbituric acid reactivity of human plasma was studied to evaluate its adequacy in quantifying lipid peroxidation as an index of systemic oxidative stress and it was found that the TBA test is not totally specific to oxidant-driven lipidperoxidation in human plasma.
