Influence of beat-to-beat blood pressure variability on vascular elasticity in hypertensive population

Abstract Whether elevated beat-to-beat blood pressure variability (BPV) has an influence on vascular elasticity is confounded and poorly understood. This study hypothesized that the increased BPV could have an adverse effect on the vascular elasticity, as estimated by total arterial compliance (TAC)...
