Average Real Variability Is an Independent Predictor of Increased Arterial Stiffness Assessed by Pulse Wave Velocity
Blood pressure variability (BPV) is an established cardiovascular risk factor associated with target organ damage beyond mean blood pressure levels. Arterial stiffness, assessed by carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), represents an early manifestation of hypertension and an independent predictor of cardiovascul...
