Implication

Independent association of ambulatory BP variability with baroreflex sensitivity in hypertension is hypothesis-generating; should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

Population

123 untreated hypertensive patients (resting diastolic blood pressure >= 90 mmHg), mean age 49 +/- 12 years (range 19-73), 80 males and 43 females.

Outcome

Relationship between ambulatory blood pressure variability and cardiac baroreflex sensitivitysurrogate

In uncomplicated hypertension, ambulatory blood pressure variability is related to baroreflex sensitivity independently of blood pressure level.
