Ethnic differences in 24h blood pressure profiles exist, and 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring shows that blacks have a higher nocturnal blood pressure associated with a small diurnal change in pressure. Studies in adolescents suggest that these diurnal differences antedate adulthood. Nocturnal blood pressure may be independently important in the pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy.
24小时血压模式存在种族差异，24小时动态血压监测显示，黑人夜间血压较高，且日间血压变化较小。对青少年的研究表明，这些昼夜差异在成年之前就已存在。夜间血压可能在左心室肥厚的发病机制中具有独立的重要性。
