Hypertensive patients (HTN) show a microcirculatory damage and a significant diurnal blood pressure variability since the very early stages of the disease. Aim. To identify if normotensive subjects may demonstrate the same characteristics. Methods. By office and ambulatory blood pressure measurements and simultaneous actigraphy, spontaneous systolic blood pressure variability (s.d.) during ‘ascertained awaketime’ (SBPdayVAR) number of steps (STEPSx1 0-3) and sedentary time (SEDENT: min. x 10-2 per activity
