Differing Pattern of Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Very Elderly Men Expresses Dynamics in Atherosclerotic Load in the Senescence

Figure 2

Correlation between an arithmetic difference in SBP, measured at ages 81 and 68 and ambulatory blood pressure measures collected at age 82 (daytime, nighttime, pre- and postawakening SBP, SBP variability, that is, daytime and nighttime standard deviation of SBP measurements and daytime and nighttime pulse pressure). Positive difference in SBP means an increasing SBP during the followup.
