Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how blood pressure variability (BPV) relates to health outcomes like mortality and cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes, measuring various types of blood pressure data.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 377,000 patients and found that higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) variability significantly increased the risk of all-cause mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), and microvascular complications, while diastolic blood pressure did not show a significant association.
- The findings suggest that assessing BPV may offer more insight into cardiovascular risks than just looking at average blood pressure levels in these patients.
