Age- and sex-matched 40 dipper hypertensive patients and 40 non-dipper hypertensive patients were included in the study. Non-dippers had significantly increased EAT thickness and higher YKL-40 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels than dippers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the EAT thickness and serum levels of YKL-40 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were independent predictors of non-dipping pattern in essential HT. In essential HT, presence of non-dipping pattern is associated with increased inflammatory response. © 2015 Taylor &amp; Francis Group, LLC.</dc:description><dc:publisher>Taylor and Francis Ltd</dc:publisher><dc:date>2015</dc:date><dc:type>Conference Object</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/15148</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.3109/10641963.2015.1013122</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>1064-1963</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>Clinical and Experimental Hypertension</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/15148</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
