Day-to-day blood pressure variability predicts poor outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention: A retrospective study.

Background: For patients with cardiovascular disease, blood pressure variability (BPV), distinct from hypertension, is an important determinant of adverse cardiac events. Whether pre-operative BPV adversely affects outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is to this point unclear.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between blood pressure variability and outcomes for patients post-PCI.
