Investigators at Kagawa University Have Published New Data on Blood Pressure

2011 OCT 3 -- Investigators publish new data in the report "Visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure over a 1-year period is a marker of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in treated hypertensive patients. 'Although visit-to-visit variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) has recently been demonstrated to be a strong predictor of stroke, there are no data about relationships between SBP variability and cardiac damage in hypertensive patients. We compared relationships between visit-to-visit variability in SBP and left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction with the relationships between the mean SBP value and cardiac parameters in treated patients," scientists in...
