ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BLOOD PRESSURE VARIABILITY, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND ALL-CAUSE MORTALITY IN TYPE 2 DIABETES

Objective: Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased vascular stiffness and risk of autonomic dysfunction, potentially leading to a higher blood pressure variability. This meta-analysis sought to investigate the associations of long-term (visit-to-visit), short-term (ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, ABPM) and mid-term (home blood pressure monitoring, HBPM) blood pressure variability and all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease events,...
