Why the study?
Increased blood pressure variability is associated with poor cardiovascular prognosis, but evidence regarding the effect of different antihypertensive treatments on blood pressure variability remains scarce.
Do calcium channel blockers reduce blood pressure variability more effectively than other antihypertensive agents?
