目的:夜间高血压可引起较高病死率和死亡率。褪黑素夜间释放峰的钝化在nondipping型高血压病人中的作用已经被认识。因此我们研究褪黑素降低夜间高血压患者夜间血压的能力。方法:38位(22男,平均年龄64±11岁)经24小时血压监测证实了的夜间高血压患者(平均夜间收缩压125m m H g Purpose: Nighttime high blood pressure can cause high mortality and mortality. The role of passivation of peak melatonin release in nondipping hypertensive patients has been recognized. Therefore, we investigated the ability of melatonin to reduce nighttime blood pressure in nocturnal hypertensive patients. METHODS: Thirty-eight patients (22 men, mean age 64 ± 11 years) with nocturnal hypertension confirmed by 24-hour BP monitoring (mean nocturnal systolic blood pressure 125 m m Hg
