Statistically significant difference between the ASA group and the STE group (p < 0.05, Mann-Whitney U test). BP – blood pressure, SBPd – ambulatory daytime systolic blood pressure, DBPd – ambulatory daytime diastolic blood pressure, MAPd – ambulatory daytime mean blood pressure, HRd – heart rate in the day, SBPn – ambulatory nighttime systolic blood pressure, DBPn – ambulatory nighttime diastolic blood pressure, MAPn – ambulatory nighttime mean blood pressure, HRn – heart rate in the night, SBP24 – 24-h systolic blood pressure, DBP24 – 24-h diastolic blood pressure, HR24 – 24-h heart rate, MAP24 – 24-h ambulatory mean blood pressure.
