Gavriilaki et al. (2015) conducted an editorial in Essential hypertension (n=77,299). Visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure variability (VVV) was evaluated on Stroke, cardiovascular, and all-cause mortality. Visit-to-visit systolic blood pressure variability is a significant predictor of stroke, cardiovascular, and all-cause mortality, independently of mean blood pressure and age.
