Figure 1.
Non-dipping diastolic BP profile in patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy (n = 36) and in controls (n = 42).
Diastolic non-dippers (defined as a nocturnal diastolic BP dip<10% lower than daytime BP) were significantly higher in patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy compared to controls (30.56% vs 2.94%, p = 0.002).
