(1) Background: Cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction is a non-motor feature in Parkinson’s disease with negative impact on functionality and life expectancy, prompting early detection and proper management. We aimed to describe the blood pressure patterns reported in patients with Parkinson’s disease, as measured by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. (2) Methods: We conducted a systematic search on the PubMed database. Studies enrolling patients with Parkinson’s disease undergoing 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring were included. Data regarding study population, Parkinson’s disease course, vasoactive drugs, blood pressure profiles, and measurements were recorded. (3) Results: The search identified 172 studies. Forty studies eventually fulfilled the inclusion criteria, with 3090 patients enrolled. Abnormal blood pressure profiles were commonly encountered: high blood pressure in 38.13% of patients (938/2460), orthostatic hypotension in 38.68% (941/2433), supine hypertension in 27.76% (445/1603) and nocturnal hypertension in 38.91% (737/1894). Dipping status was also altered often, 40.46% of patients (477/1179) being reverse dippers and 35.67% (310/869) reduced dippers. All these patterns were correlated with negative clinical and imaging outcomes. (4) Conclusion: Patients with Parkinson’s disease have significantly altered blood pressure patterns that carry a negative prognosis. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring should be validated as a biomarker of PD-associated cardiovascular dysautonomia and a tool for assisting therapeutic interventions.

Objective: To support the people in East Bongas and West Bongas villages to prevent and treatment the hypertension disease.Methods: This was a cross-sectional design while the subjects were taken by a simple random sampling. A total of 323 families were included, and blood pressure of the male and female subjects aged between 18 to 65 y was measured and had been given a question relating to their blood pressure.Results: The blood pressure profile was classified based on the seventh report of the Joint National Committee (JNC 7). The youngest male and female participants of pre-hypertension were 18 and 22 y, respectively. The normal blood pressure, pre-hypertension, hypertension stage-1, and hypertension stage-2 were 34.3%, 49.5%, 12.1%, and 4.1%, respectively. Prevalence of patients with hypertension based on the age groups 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60-69 y were 6.8%, 15.6%, 33.9%, and 37.3%, respectively. Prevalence of patients with hypertension in male was 16.8%, the female was 15.7%, and the total of both were 16.2%. Prevalence based on gender showed that those who had information about hypertension in male was 46.8%, the female was 47.9%, and the total of both were 47.4%. Prevalence of hypertension patients increased, for a male was 8.9%, the female was 8.2%, and the total of both were 8.5% after the participants declared that they were not hypertension patients.Conclusion: In both villages occurred an increase of hypertension prevalence. Based on this information, the people in two villages should be given the appropriate knowledge and awareness regarding hypertension.
