  • Title: Reversed diurnal blood pressure rhythm in hypertensive pregnancies.
    Author: Redman CW, Beilin LJ, Bonnar J.
    Journal: Clin Sci Mol Med Suppl; 1976 Dec; 3():687s-689s. PubMed ID: 1071709.
    Abstract:
    1. Reversal of the normal diurnal blood pressure pattern has been demonstrated in women with severe hypertension and renal impairment in pregnancy (pre-eclampsia). 2. Maximum arterial pressure occurred at night in these women. The phenomenon was not due to hypotensive drug therapy or posture. Patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension in pregnancy retained a normal diurnal blood pressure pattern. 3. Nocturnal hypertension in pre-eclampsia is of theoretical interest and practical importance.
