Objectives: To study blood pressure circadian pattern in patients with impaired fasting glucose (IFG) evaluated with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM).
Methods: Cross-sectional study evaluating patients taken from the Spanish ABPM Registry. Normoglycemia was defined as glucose <100 mg/dl and IFG as glucose 100125 mg/dl. All patients underwent 24-h ABPM with a Spacelabs ambulatory blood pressure system. ABPM was performed according to standardized conditions and conventional threshold for ABP measurements.
Results: A total of 24 708 patients were included in the study; 16 587 with normoglycemia (67.2%) and 8.121 with IFG (32.8%). Patients with IFG were older (60.2 vs 56.0 years, P=0.001) more obese (BMI 29.6 vs 28.2 kg/m2, P=0.001), presented more elevated clinic systolic blood pressure (150.4 vs 147.3 mmHg) but similar diastolic blood pressure (87.8 vs 87.7). Non-dipper + riser pattern was found in 51.3% of patients with IFG and in 48.2% in those with normoglycemia (P<0.001 for the comparison).
Conclusions: Patients with IFG show a higher percentage of non-dipper + riser pattern in the circadian blood pressure evaluation.
