Introduction Frailty is a common condition in older hypertensive adults with and is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes. Blood pressure variability (BPV) is as an independent ...

DALLAS, TX — Visit-to-visit variation in systolic blood pressure (BP) and mean heart rate (HR) are both independently related to cognitive dysfunction and decline in patients at high cardiovascular ...

Fluctuations in blood pressure over an extended period, along with their interaction with mean blood pressure or intraocular pressure, are associated with a more rapid visual field progression in ...

Even when blood pressure is well controlled, older adults whose blood pressure fluctuates widely from one heartbeat to the next may be at greater risk for brain shrinkage and nerve cell injury, ...

Previous research showed that blood pressure variability is linked to poorer thinking skills in white people. A new study extends these findings by examining the link in both white and Black people ...

A recent Scientific Reports study assessed whether clinically derived measures of heart rate variability (HRV) and blood pressure variability (BPV) are associated with the manifestation of Alzheimer’s ...

High blood pressure is a known cardiovascular risk factor for cognitive function. In the current study, researchers investigated the link between visit-to-visit blood pressure variability and ...
