People with non-dipper hypertension have higher aldosterone levels, more strain on their heart's venous system, and increased risk of endothelial dysfunction.

Hair loss in young adults is linked to harder arteries.

Men with male pattern baldness have increased arterial stiffness.

Blood pressure that doesn't drop at night is linked to worse blood vessel function in people with high blood pressure.
