Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability and target organ damage in rural dwellers with uncomplicated arterial hypertension

Abstract

The aim: To examine the association of hypertensive mediated target organ damage with blood pressure visit-to-visit variability in Ukrainian rural dwellers with uncomplicated hypertension. Conclusions: The HBPV in rural hypertensive males was associated with more pronounced target organ damage. Further regional research on the various clinical aspects of hypertension, including blood pressure variability, might be useful in extending the existed evidence on prevention of hypertension-related complications.
