Visit‐to‐Visit Systolic Blood Pressure Variability Independently Predicts Cardiovascular Events in a Kidney Transplant Recipients' Cohort

The predictive role of blood pressure variability for all-cause mortality and fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events has been described in the general population and in patients with diabetes, independently of mean BP. Although systolic blood pressure variability has been proposed as an informative measure for predicting clinical outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease, its role in kidney transplant recipients is still debatable.
