SHORT-TERM BUT NOT LONG-TERM BLOOD PRESSURE VARIABILITY IS A PREDICTOR OF ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR AND RENAL EVENTS IN HYPERTENSION OF THE YOUNG

Abstract

Objective:Blood pressure variability (BPV) has emerged as an important predictor of future cardiovascular events among hypertensive patients. However, it is not known whether BPV measured with ambulatory monitoring (short-term BPV) or computed from office visits (long-term BPV) are related to each o
