Pulse weekly averaged BP ≥70 mmHg was associated with higher CV events and mortality in hemodialysis; hypothesis-generating for improved risk stratification versus single measurements.
Does weekly averaged blood pressure measurement improve risk stratification for cardiovascular events and mortality compared to single-point measurement in hemodialysis patients?
Weekly averaged blood pressure, specifically pulse weekly averaged blood pressure, is a superior prognostic marker for cardiovascular events and mortality in hemodialysis patients compared to single-point measurements.
