Blood Pressure Variability: Prognostic Value and Therapeutic Implications

Table 4

Short-term blood pressure variability and target organ damage and cardiovascular events in patients.

Study	Study population	Blood pressure variability index	Outcome
Parati et al. [24]	Hospitalized subjects with essential hypertension	24 h BPV	Increase rate and severity of TOD
Palatini et al. [26]	Patients with mild to severe hypertension	Daytime systolic BPV	Higher degree of retinal abnormalities
Mancia et al. [27]	Hypertensive patients	24 h systolic BPV	Increase in carotid intima-media thickness
Sega et al. [28]	General population	Overall and residual short-term BPV	Left ventricular mass index
Sander et al. [29]	General population	Daytime systolic BPV	Progression of intima-media wall thickness
McMullan et al. [30]	Patient with chronic kidney disease	Systolic BPV	Increased overall and cardiovascular mortality
Kawai et al. [31]	Hypertensive patients	Daytime systolic BPV; Nighttime systolic BPV	Increased renal vascular resistance; Increased intima-media thickness and plaque score
Iwata et al. [32]	Hypertensive patients	Nighttime systolic BPV	Large arch plaque
Schillaci et al. [33]	Hypertensive patients	24 h BPV	Aortic stiffness
Cay et al. [34]	Normotensive patients	Systolic and diastolic 24 h BPV	Higher risk of restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention
Schutte et al. [35]	Normotensive Africans	24 h systolic BPV	Left ventricular hypertrophy
Ozawa et al. [36]	Patients with type 2 diabetes	Nighttime systolic and diastolic BPV	Increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease
Sakakura et al. [37]	Elderly patients	Daytime systolic BPV	Cognitive dysfunction and reduction in quality of life
