Implication

Arterial stiffness may predict seasonal SBP changes in elderly hypertensives but should not yet alter management; extends observational data and warrants prospective trials.

Population

85 elderly (>55 years) patients with essential hypertension (33 males, mean age 64+/-6.0 years)

Outcome

Correlation between arterial stiffness (measured by pulse wave velocity) and winter-summer differences in systolic and diastolic blood pressuresurrogate

Arterial stiffness, measured by pulse wave velocity, is a significant predictor of augmented winter-summer systolic blood pressure variation in elderly hypertensive patients.
