Design and method: In this survey 77 treated hypertensive patients were included admitted to County Clinical Hospital of Tirgu Mures for treatment adjustment. Blood pressure profi le was assessed by 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) with a validated device. Morning surge (MS) was automatically edited, morning BP was defi ned as the mean of the BP measurement between 6–10 a.m. Morning blood pressure variability was calculated according to the formula of average real variability from the BP values obtained between 6–10 a.m. Subjects were divided in 2 groups: Group 1 dippers with a nocturnal BP reduction of at least 10%, Group 2 non-dippers with a nocturnal BP decrease less than 10%. We compared morning BP characteristics as well as their relationship to nocturnal BP values
