First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how sleep and the body's internal clock influence blood pressure in people with hypertension. Researchers will monitor 32 adults aged 25-64 to understand why some have a 'non-dipping' pattern where blood pressure stays high at night. The goal is to uncover mechanisms that could lead to better heart health management.
