 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 Morning hypertension and carotid atherosclerosis between the phenomenon of [Abstract] Objective To investigate the peak morning blood pressure in hypertensive patients phenomenon (MBPS) and carotid artery atherosclerosis. Methods 68 patients with essential hypertension, according to 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24ABPM) were divided into groups and non-peak morning Morning group, routine blood examination, fasting blood glucose, body mass index (BMI), common carotid artery (CCA-IMT) and carotid artery IMT (ICA-IMT). the results of morning peak group, CCA-IMT and ICA Non-IMT were higher than the morning peak group (P lt;0.05); and two BMI, blood lipids, blood glucose was no significant difference (Pgt; 0.05). Conclusion Morning hypertension who have a more significant carotid artery atherosclerosis. [Key Words] essential hypertension; morning peak phenomenon; ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; carotid atherosclerosis The circadian rhythm of blood pressure, the most significant in the early morning, people from the sleep state to awake and begin activity, blood pressure rose rapidly from a relatively low level to a higher level, a phenomenon known as “Morning blood pressure surge,” [1]. Clinical study found that the majority of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events occur in the morning, and morning peak is closely related to hypertension, blood pressure, so the need to fully understand the dangers of the morning peak. artery ultrasound can evaluate carotid atherosclerosis in the case, the window to observe the systemic atherosclerosis . of blood pressure and carotid atherosclerosis between the morning peak, morning peak can reflect the blood pressure and the relationship between systemic atherosclerosis, which the morning peak for the control of blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events provided. now collected 68 cases of primary 24h ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive patients t
