Association of blood pressure variability with target organ damage in older patients with essential hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although multiple measures of blood pressure variability (BPV) have been proposed, whether they are better than mean blood pressure in predicting target organs is unclear. We aimed to determine the relationship between short term BPV and target organ injury.

Methods

This study was a retrospective study, and 635 inpatients in the Department of Cardiology from 2015 to 2020 were selected. We divided participants into four groups on the basis of the quartiles of BPV. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the differences between the groups, and linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between BPV and target organ damage.

Results

The average age of 635 patients was 74.36 ± 6.50 years old. Among them, 354 of 627 patients had diminished ren
