Predictive ability of visit-to-visit blood pressure indices for adverse events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Subanalysis of the J-RHYTHM Registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We previously reported that standard deviation (SD) of systolic blood pressure (SBP), an index of BP variability, and SBP-time in target range (TTR), an index of BP consistency, were significantly associated with adverse events in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). Thus, this study aimed to compare predictive ability for adverse events among visit-to-visit BP variability/consistency indices using data from the J-RHYTHM Registry.

Methods

Of 7406 outpatients with NVAF, 7226 (age, 69.7 ± 9.9 years; men, 70.7%), in whom BP was measured 4 times or more (14.6 ± 5.0 times) during the 2-year follow-up period or until occurrence of an event, were included. As BP consistency for target SBP between 110 and 130 mmHg, SBP-TTR by the Rosendaal method and SBP
