Supine Blood Pressure and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Nocturnal hypertension while asleep is associated with substantial increases in risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death. Whether hypertension while supine is a risk factor associated with CVD independent of seated hypertension remains unknown.

Objective

To investigate the association between supine hypertension and CVD outcomes and by hypertension treatment status.

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective cohort study used data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, which was established in 1987 to examine cardiovascular risk factors among middle-aged adults from 4 communities in the US. Supine and seated blood pressure were measured in more than 13 000 middle-aged adults with longitudinal surveillance for CVD over 27 ye
