Why the study?
Does day-by-day variability of home blood pressure and heart rate predict cardiovascular mortality in a general population?
Does day-by-day variability of home blood pressure and heart rate predict cardiovascular mortality in a general population?
Day-by-day variability in home blood pressure and heart rate independently predicts cardiovascular, stroke, and cardiac mortality, highlighting its potential utility in routine cardiovascular risk assessment.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May refine mortality risk stratification via home monitoring; leaves open whether variability is modifiable or causal.
Kikuya et al. (2008) studied this question.
