Abstract
Objective: In this study, we aimed to compare blood pressure variability among irritable bowel syndrome subtypes. Methods: Patients with newly diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome and existing hypertension were included in the study. Average real variability (ARV) was calculated by consecutive one week home blood pressure measurements. Groups were compared for blood pressure variability. Results: While diastolic ARV was found to be similar among subtypes (p=0.919), a significant difference was found between them in terms of systolic ARV (p<0.001). Conclusion: Since irritable bowel syndrome patients with constipation-predominant subtype have higher systolic blood pressure variability, these patients can be followed more closely for cardiovascular complications.
