Arterial hypertension is the most important contributor to the global burden of disease;
however, disease control remains poor. Although the diagnosis of hypertension is still based …

Blood pressure (BP) is characterized by marked short-term fluctuations occurring within a 24
h period (beat-to-beat, minute-to-minute, hour-to-hour, and day-to-night changes) and also …

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is being used increasingly in both clinical
practice and hypertension research. Although there are many guidelines that emphasize the …

Background: Little is known about the relationship between intraoperative blood pressure
variability and mortality after noncardiac surgery. Therefore, the authors tested the …

A population‐based study of a quantitative trait may be seriously compromised when the
trait is subject to the effects of a treatment. For example, in a typical study of quantitative …

A large body of evidence has consistently supported the relationship between blood
pressure (BP) levels and the risk of cardiovascular complications. In recent years, several …

Short-term blood pressure (BP) variability predicts cardiovascular complications in
hypertension, but its association with large-artery stiffness is poorly understood and …

The hypothesis has been advanced that cardiovascular prognosis is related not only to 24-
hour mean blood pressure but also to blood pressure variability. Data, however, are …

The ageing of the vascular tree is a fundamental reflection of biological ageing in general
and a determinant of organ function. In the arterial wall this is characterized by a reduction in …
