Key result
In treated octogenarians with hypertension, a daytime systolic blood pressure load of ≥24.5% independently predicted cardiovascular events (HR 15.0; 95% CI 3.1-73.3; P=0.001).

Daytime SBP load may aid CV risk stratification in treated octogenarians; leaves open whether ABPM thresholds should guide therapy.

Hazard Ratio: 15 (95% CI 3.1–73.3)
p-value: p=0.001
In treated octogenarians with hypertension, a daytime systolic blood pressure load of 24.5% or greater on ABPM is a strong, independent predictor of future cardiovascular events.
Andrade et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Hypertension (n=126). Daytime systolic blood pressure load ≥24.5% vs. Daytime systolic blood pressure load <24.5% was evaluated on Cardiovascular events (HR 15.0, 95% CI 3.1-73.3, p=0.001). In treated octogenarians with hypertension, a daytime systolic blood pressure load of ≥24.5% independently predicted cardiovascular events (HR 15.0; 95% CI 3.1-73.3; P=0.001).
