Implication

Altered BP variability in autonomic failure should not yet change practice; leaves open its prognostic and therapeutic relevance.

Structured PICO

Population

151 subjects including 5 normal volunteers, 137 subjects with suspected or established essential hypertension, and 9 subjects with autonomic failure.

Intervention

24h intra-arterial pressure monitoring

Outcome

Blood pressure variability (day-night difference and average hourly change) and heart rate variabilitysurrogate

Autonomic failure alters normal blood pressure variability patterns, causing increased variability during activity and loss of normal day-night differences.
