Key result

Home blood pressure and pulse pressure variability were associated with left ventricular mass index, with stronger associations observed for pulse pressure and in older individuals.

Population

150 healthy Finnish adults aged between 35 and 64 years.

Implication

May aid LVH risk stratification in older adults; leaves open causal role and need for prospective trials.

Study Design

Type

Cross-Sectional (n=150)

Structured PICO

Population

150 healthy Finnish adults aged 35 to 64 years assessed for blood pressure and heart rate variability.

Outcome

Association of beat-to-beat, ambulatory hour-to-hour, and home day-to-day variability in blood pressure (BP), pulse pressure (PP), and heart rate (HR) with each other and with target-organ damage (left ventricular mass index).surrogate

Home and beat-to-beat blood pressure and pulse pressure variability are associated with left ventricular mass index, suggesting a link to target-organ damage.

Johansson et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=150). Blood pressure and pulse pressure variability was evaluated on Left ventricular mass index (LVMI). Home blood pressure and pulse pressure variability were associated with left ventricular mass index, with stronger associations observed for pulse pressure and in older individuals.
