Why the study?
Does short-term blood pressure variability predict cardiovascular events better than average 24-h blood pressure in young-to-middle-age patients with stage 1 hypertension?
Does short-term blood pressure variability predict cardiovascular events better than average 24-h blood pressure in young-to-middle-age patients with stage 1 hypertension?
Short-term blood pressure variability is a superior predictor of cardiovascular events compared to average 24-hour blood pressure in young patients with stage 1 hypertension.
May aid risk stratification in stage 1 hypertension; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Short-term BPV adds to the risk stratification for cardiovascular events in young-to-middle-age patients screened for stage 1 hypertension over and above traditional 24-h ambulatory monitoring indexes.
