| 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.
