Prognostic significance of visit-to-visit variability, maximum systolic blood pressure, and episodic hypertension

The mechanisms by which hypertension causes vascular events are unclear. Guidelines for diagnosis and treatment focus only on underlying mean blood pressure. We aimed to reliably establish the prognostic significance of visit-to-visit variability in blood pressure, maximum blood pressure reached, un...
