description Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the differences in pulsatile hemodynamics, echocardiographic findings, 24-h Holter monitoring and heart rate variability parameters of dipper patterns in children with newly diagnosed essential hypertension. Methods: This study included 30 children with newly diagnosed essential hypertension and 30 healthy controls. The essential hypertension cohort was divided into dippers and non-dippers. Physical examinations, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, 24-h Holter monitoring, 24-h heart rate variability, conventional 2-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography, and tissue Doppler imaging were performed. Pulse wave analysis using an oscillometric monitor was conducted to measure augmentation index (AIx) and pulse wave velocity (PWV). Results: In patients with essential hypertension, left ventricular (LV) wall thickness and LV mass index were increased. There were no significant differences in LV mass index and LV wall thickness based on the dipping patterns. Time domain values and the standard deviation of all RR intervals (SDNN) were substantially lower in the essential hypertension group. SDNN values were considerably lower in the non-dipper group compared with the dipper group. In terms of frequency domain measures, low frequency measured in daytime values was much lower in the essential hypertension group compared with the control. The dipper patterns revealed that low frequency measured in nighttime values was also substantially lower in the non-dipper group. Pulse wave analysis and AIx values were notably higher in the essential hypertension patient group and those with non-dipper status. Conclusion: SDNN values, which reflect parasympathetic activity, were markedly lower in children with hypertension and the non-dipper group than healthy controls and the dipper group, respectively. Also, parameters related to arterial stiffness, such as PWV and AIx values were significantly higher in children with hypertension and the non-dipper group. Resumo: Objetivo: Correlacionar, em crianças com hipertensão essencial (HE) recentemente diagnosticada, as características da onda de pulso, do ecocardiograma, do ECG dinâmico de 24 horas e de parâmetros de variabilidade da frequência cardíaca com os padrões dipper/não dipper. Métodos: Este estudo incluiu 30 crianças com HE recentemente diagnosticada e 30 controlos saudáveis. As crianças com HE foram também divididas em dois grupos: dippers e não dippers. Foi efetuado exame físico, ecocardiograma modo M. bidimensional e Doppler de fluxo e tecidular, monitoração por Holter de 24 horas, análise da variabilidade da frequência cardíaca (VFC) durante 24 horas e monitoração ambulatória da pressão arterial de 24 horas. Foi igualmente realizada a análise da onda de pulso com equipamento oscilométrico para medir o índice de aumentação (IA) e a velocidade da onda de pulso (VOP). Resultados: Os doentes com HE apresentaram espessura parietal ventricular esquerda (VE) e índice de massa VE aumentados. Não foram registadas diferenças significativas entre o índice da massa VE e a espessura da parede e os padrões dipper/não dipper. Os valores do domínio temporal, o desvio-padrão de todos os intervalos RR (SDNN) foram significativamente inferiores no grupo com HE. Os valores SDNN foram significativamente inferiores no grupo não dipper quando comparado com o grupo dipper. Relativamente às medidas do domínio da frequência, as medições da baixa frequência (BF) efetuadas durante o dia foram significativamente mais baixas no grupo com HE do que no grupo controlo. De acordo com os padrões dipper, os valores de BF durante a noite foram também significativamente inferiores quando comparados com o grupo não dipper. A VOP e o IA foram significativamente superiores nos doentes com HE e com estado não dipper. Conclusão: Os valores SDNN, que refletem atividade parassimpática, foram significativamente inferiores nas crianças com HE e no grupo não dipper em relaçao ao grupo controle e dipper, respetivamente. Do mesmo modo, os parâmetros relacionados com a rigidez arterial, tais como a VOP e os valores do IA, foram significativamente superiores nas crianças com HT e no grupo não dipper.
