  Objectives: Women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including both preeclampsia (PE) and gestational hypertension (GH), show fluctuations in BP during the day. This study aimed to assess characteristic changes in BP by Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM) in HDP patients in comparison with PE and GH.Study design: Among the 106 pregnant women who exhibited hypertension by clinic BP (CBP), 24-hour ABPM were performed. ABPM determined HDP in 79 women (PE, n=43) and GH, n=36), and white coat hypertension (WCH) in 27 women.Main outcome measures: The following aspects were analyzed with the circadian rhythms of BP and pulse: 1) changes in BP at night-time and 2) multiple regression percent rhythm (PR, correction coefficient by Cosinor analysis).Results:..
