No elevated plasma catecholamine levels during sleep in newly diagnosed, untreated hypertensives.

The sympatho-adrenergic system is highly involved in regulating sleep, wake and arousal states, and abnormalities in this system are regarded as a key factor in the development and progression of arterial hypertension. While hypertension is associated with a hyperadrenergic state during wakefulness,...
