TL;DR: It is suggested that day-to-day variability in BP and HR may be associated with target-organ damage or complications, which can lead to an elevated NT-proBNP level.
Predictive power of home blood pressure indices at baseline and during follow-up in hypertensive patients: HOMED-BP study
Daisuke Watabe,Kei Asayama,Kei Asayama,Tomohiro Hanazawa,Tomohiro Hanazawa,Miki Hosaka,Michihiro Satoh,Daisaku Yasui,Taku Obara,Ryusuke Inoue,Hirohito Metoki,Masahiro Kikuya,Yutaka Imai,Takayoshi Ohkubo +13 more
TL;DR: In addition to home systolic and diastolic BP, mean BP during follow-up period provides essential information in predicting future cardiovascular diseases, whereas its utilization should be further assessed by an intervention trial targeting mean BP levels.

TL;DR: In conclusion, a home PP of ⩾76 mm Hg predicted cardiovascular outcomes in the elderly with the exception of stroke, whereas in younger subjects no threshold could be established.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the available evidence in the field of BPV assessment methodology and clinical applications and provide practical indications on how to measure and interpret BPV in research and clinical settings based on currently available data.
Added Predictive Value of Night-Time Blood Pressure Variability for Cardiovascular Events and Mortality The Ambulatory Blood Pressure–International Study
Paolo Palatini,Gianpaolo Reboldi,Lawrence J. Beilin,Edoardo Casiglia,Kazuo Eguchi,Yutaka Imai,Kazuomi Kario,Takayoshi Ohkubo,Sante D. Pierdomenico,Joseph E. Schwartz,Lindon M H Wing,Paolo Verdecchia +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether night-time ambulatory blood pressure variability predicts cardiovascular events and mortality in hypertension and found that it is positively associated with age, body mass index, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and average nighttime BP (all P<0.001).
