Prognostic relevance of blood pressure variability.
The possible prognostic relevance of different patterns characterizing blood pressure (BP) fluctuations during the day and night was first suggested in the late 1980s,1 based on observations made possible by 24-hour continuous intraarterial ambulatory BP monitoring in normotensive and hypertensive subjects. Since then, this issue has been repeatedly addressed in studies carried out either in an...
متن کاملPrognostic Value of Blood Pressure Variability and Average Blood Pressure Levels in Patients With Hypertension and Diabetes
E levated blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality (1) and a leading contributor to the global disease burden (2). Overwhelming evidence is now available showing that BP measured in the office shows a linear relationship with a number of CV and renal outcomes as well as with overall mortality and that lowering of office BP (OBP) with treatment is e...
متن کاملAmbulatory blood pressure measurement: therapeutic implications.
Conventional clinic measurement of blood pressure has many deficiencies, among which the most significant are its inability to indicate the duration of drug effect, or the influence of antihypertensive drugs on nocturnal blood pressure. The technique is, therefore, unreliable for assessing antihypertensive drug efficacy, either in clinical practice or hypertension research. Non-invasive 24 h am...
متن کاملBlood Pressure Variability: Assessment, Prognostic Significance and Management.
Interest in blood pressure variability (BPV) as a cardiovascular risk factor has gained focus in recent times. Increased BPV places added strain on the cardiovascular (CV) system unrelated to its average value, leading to increased risk of target organ damage (TOD) and CV events. Recent data suggests that there is inter-drug variation in efficacy with calcium channel blockers (CCBs) such as Aml...
متن کاملPrognostic value of the home blood pressure variability: which is best?
Prognostic Value of the Home Blood Pressure Variability: Which Is Best? To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Johansson et al, which reports that greater variabilities of home blood pressure (BP) and heart rate during 7 consecutive days were significant predictors of cardiovascular events, even after adjustments for age and mean home BP level. In addition, the morning day-by...
