Visit-to-visit BP variability may refine stroke risk assessment beyond mean values; leaves open causal roles of remodeling and silent injury.
This review highlights visit-to-visit blood pressure variability as an independent risk factor for stroke, potentially mediated by silent cerebral injury and artery remodeling.
Nagai et al. (2013) conducted a review in Stroke and silent cerebral injury. Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability was evaluated. Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability is an emerging independent risk factor for stroke, potentially mediated by artery remodeling and silent cerebral injury.
