Abstract

Background: We determined clinical predictors of the rate of rise (RoR) in blood pressure in the morning as well as a novel measure of the power of the BP surge (BPpower) derived from ambulatory blood pressure recordings. Methods: BPpower and RoR were calculated from 409 ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) recordings from subjects attending a cardiovascular risk clinic. Anthropometric data, blood biochemistry, and history were recorded. The 409 subjects were 20–82 years old (average 57, SD = 13), 46% male, 9% with hypertension but not on medication and 34% on antihypertensive medication. Results: Average RoR was 11.1 mmHg/hour (SD = 8) and BPpower was 273 mmHg2/hour (SD = 235). Only cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and body mass index (BMI) were associated with higher BPpower and RoR (P
