Researchers are learning more about a phenomenon called “nocturnal blood pressure,” a condition where some people experience a dangerous rise in blood pressure at a time when their bodies are supposed to be at rest.

This webinar brought together two leading experts in hypertension management. It informs about the importance of obtaining accurate nocturnal blood pressure in cardiovascular risk assessment, educates on the impact of sleep disturbance, and disseminates best practice for blood pressure monitoring for hypertensive patients.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is an important cause of cardiovascular diseases. Measuring blood pressure accurately is a fundamental pre-requisite to good clinical care for preventing and managing hypertension. Blood pressure varies throughout day and night following a circadian pattern. Current guidelines refer to daytime blood pressure for diagnostic and therapeutic actions. However, it is now clear that nocturnal blood pressure is an important predictor of organ damage and cardiovascular events. Several conditions are associated with raised blood pressure at night, of which sleep apnoea is the most common. It is therefore essential to measure blood pressure at night.

Program:
0:00:00 – 0:02:30: Introduction – F.P. Cappuccio
0:02:30 – 0:23:00: Circadian patterns, Sleep Apnoea, and non-dipping blood pressure: What is the connection?
0:23:00 – 0:35:00: How easy is it to use a home blood pressure device during the night?
0:35:00 – 1:00:00: Q&A

Faculty:
Prof. Dr. F.P Cappuccio, chair, moderator, and speaker – University of Warwick, Coventry, United Kingdom
Prof. Dr. D. Schoors, speaker – University of Brussels, Belgium/Heart Health Center

This video, created by Nucleus Medical Media, shows high blood pressure, or hypertension. This is a common condition in which the force of blood on the walls of your arteries is often too high. While your blood pressure may change throughout the day, it should normally be less than 120 millimeters of mercury for systolic pressure, and less than 80 millimeters of mercury for diastolic pressure. If your systolic pressure frequently stays above 140, or your diastolic pressure frequently stays above 90, you have high blood pressure.
