Abstract
Blood pressure variability has been associated with risk of cardiovascular events in observational studies, independently of mean blood pressure (BP) levels. BP variability is typically summarized as the standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), or variation independent of mean (VIM), of blood pressure over multiple office blood pressure readings, days apart.Blood pressure variability has been associated with risk of cardiovascular events in observational studies, independently of mean blood pressure (BP) levels.
