| Abstract: | Normotensive patients with microvascular angina exhibit increased diastolic blood pressure and blood pressure loads during daily activities and decreased diurnal variation of systolic blood pressure, compared with age- and sex-matched normotensive controls. The abnormal blood pressure profile could play a role in the pathogenesis of microvascular angina. |
