Impact of home blood pressure variability on cardiovascular outcome in patients with arterial stiffness: Results of the J-HOP study.

ABSTRACT: This study sought to investigate whether the relation between increased blood pressure (BP) variability and increased arterial stiffness confers a risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. We analyzed 2648 patients from a practitioner-based population (mean ± SD age 64.9 ± 11.4 years: 75.8% taking antihypertensive medication) with at least one cardiovascular risk factor who underwent home BP monitoring in the Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure Study. The standard deviation (SD_SBP ), coefficient of variation (CV_SBP ), and average real variability (ARV_SBP ) were assessed as indexes of day-by-day home systolic BP (SBP) variability. The authors assessed arterial stiffness by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and divided patients into lower (<
