PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE AND LIMITATION OF VISIT-TO-VISIT BLOOD PRESSURE VARIABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH REDUCED EJECTION...

Visit-to-visit variability (VVV) of blood pressure (BP) can facilitate in predicting future reduced ejection fractions cases. In the recent past, the prognostic significance of visitto-visit variability of BP has been examined widely in patients with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. The findings of numerous investigations have indicated that increased visit-to-visit variability of blood pressure can lead to better estimation or proper treatments that can minimize blood pressure variability and associated risks while enhancing clinical outcomes. However, inconsistent data of the visit-to-visit hypothesis in the post-hoc analysis have also been explored. Therefore, this review discusses recent analysis, background, and reports of the limitations of visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (VVV-BP) and the prognostic significance of visit-to-visit blood pressure variability in populations at high risk of reduced ejection fractions in predictions of future vascular diseases. The role of the antihypertensive drugs is highlighted while describing the clinical implications and future research directions.
