Aims To investigate the relationship between visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV)
and the progression of both carotid and coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods and results …

Objectives To determine whether within-visit blood pressure (BP) variability based on three
measurements over minutes is associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness …

Background—In high-cardiovascular-risk treated hypertensive patients, the incidence of
cardiovascular events has been reported to relate to visit-to-visit blood pressure (BP) …

Background Baseline data from the European Lacidipine Study on Atherosclerosis (ELSA)
have shown that carotid intima–media thickness (IMT) is not related to diastolic blood …

Objectives Previous studies have demonstrated that the time rate of blood pressure (BP)
variation was associated with early carotid atherosclerosis, independent of peripheral and …

Background Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) is a simple surrogate marker for the
development of atherosclerotic diseases, cardiovascular and all-cause mortality …

Background The associations between visit-to-visit blood pressure (BP) variability and
cardiac function and carotid atherosclerosis is not clear. Methods Study subjects were 144 …

Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) has been one widely used index of early carotid
atherosclerosis. We speculated that the influence of blood pressure variability (BPV) on …

The relationship of blood pressure (BP) variability to cardiovascular target-organ damage is
controversial. Studies examining BP variability and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy have …

Background—Baseline carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaques are considered
predictors of cardiovascular events, but whether they maintain predictive value in treated …
