Key result
In hypertensive patients, 24-hour blood pressure variability was associated with vascular damage, with odds ratios for the SD and CV ranging from 1.182 to 1.276.
Population
344 hypertensive patients, mean age 54.1±11.7 years, 59.6% men.

24-h BPV correlated with vascular parameters in hypertensives; leaves open independent prognostic value and need for longitudinal confirmation.
Cross-Sectional (n=344)
Effect estimate: OR 1.182-1.276
24-hour blood pressure variability is significantly associated with markers of arterial stiffness and vascular damage in hypertensive patients.
García-García et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=344). 24-h blood pressure variability (BPV) was evaluated on Vascular structure and function (evaluated by AASI, PWV, and IMT) (OR 1.182-1.276). In hypertensive patients, 24-hour blood pressure variability was associated with vascular damage, with odds ratios for the SD and CV ranging from 1.182 to 1.276.
