Suggests visit-to-visit blood pressure variability may serve as an independent risk marker.
Does visit-to-visit variability of blood pressure predict cardiovascular outcomes in patients with stable coronary heart disease?
In patients with stable coronary heart disease, higher visit-to-visit variability of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure strongly predicts increased risk of cardiovascular events, independent of mean BP.
Vidal‐Petiot et al. (2017) studied this question.
