Nighttime blood pressure dipping: the role of the sympathetic nervous system

TL;DR: The present study examined the contribution of the sympathetic nervous system to BP dipping in a biracial sample of 172 men and women aged 25 to 45 years, finding that nondippers were more likely to be African American and to have a family history of hypertension as well as a higher body mass index (BMI).
