Why the study?
Do diurnal blood pressure variations differ between men with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and controls?
Do diurnal blood pressure variations differ between men with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and controls?
Diurnal blood pressure rhythms are similar between patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and controls, suggesting that exaggerated blood pressure swings do not explain the pathogenesis of ischemic episodes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Diurnal BP similarity argues against variability-driven pathogenesis in cerebrovascular ischemia; leaves open absolute pressure roles, especially vertebrobasilar.
Maurice Gross (1970) studied this question.
