Abstract
The patient was a 63-year-old man with a 24-year history of hypertension. During long-term follow-up, when outpatient clinic blood pressure and morning blood pressure are well-regulated, exceptionally elevated early-morning blood pressure does not play a significant role in the development of hypertensive target organ disease or cardiovascular disease.
