Blood Pressure VariaBility: How to deal?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Affecting 1 billion people worldwide, hypertension remains the most common, readily identifiable, and reversible risk factor for myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, aortic dissection, and peripheral arterial disease. Because of escalating obesity and population aging, the global burden of hypertension is rising and projected to affect 1.5 billion persons—one third of the world’s population—by the year 2025. Currently, high blood pressure (BP) causes about 54% of stroke and 47% of ischemic heart disease worldwide.1

Heterogeneity of Prognostic Studies of 24-Hour Blood Pressure Variability: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
In addition to mean blood pressure, blood pressure variability is hypothesized to have important prognostic value in evaluating cardiovascular risk. We aimed to assess the prognostic value of blood pressure variability within 24 hours. Using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library to April 2013, we conducted a systematic review of prospective studies of adults, with at least one year follow-up and...
متن کاملShould the heart rate of hypertensive patients influence clinical decisions?
Although heart rate (HR) is commonly recorded multiple times when blood pressure (BP) is measured, particularly when automatic devices are doing it in the clinic, at home, or during 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), many clinicians tend to ignore the HR unless it is extremely high or low. But perhaps this is inappropriate, because there is a great deal of information accumula...

متن کاملFactors Affecting Blood Pressure Variability: Lessons Learned from Two Systematic Reviews of Randomized Controlled Trials
Systematic reviews can often reveal much more than the original objective of the work. The objectives of this retrospective analysis were to answer three basic questions about blood pressure variability: 1) Does blood pressure entry criterion have an effect on baseline blood pressure variability? 2) Do thiazide diuretics have a significant effect on blood pressure variability? and 3) Does systo...
متن کاملIncreased blood pressure variability in menopause.
Blood pressure variability represents an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. To detect possible blood pressure variability changes from fertile to menopausal status, we enrolled consecutively 219 women: 104 fertile women (46.6 +/- 3.4 years) and 115 menopausal women (53.9 +/- 3.98 years). We evaluated for each patient the body mass index (BMI), 24 h, daytime, night-time systoli...
