- Original description
This observational study investigates the correlation between home blood pressure variability (BPV) and arteriosclerosis, alongside metabolic indicators, in hypertensive patients over a three-year period. The research specifically focuses on the predictive value of home BPV for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalizations. Utilizing a mobile application called Healthscan for daily BP monitoring, the study aims to enhance the understanding of how BPV impacts cardiovascular and metabolic health in a real-world setting.Read full original descriptionShow less
Impact of Home and Clinical Blood Pressure Variability on Arteriosclerosis and Metabolic Indicators
This observational study investigates the correlation between home blood pressure variability (BPV) and arteriosclerosis, alongside metabolic indicators, in hypertensive patients over a three-year period. The research specifically focuses on the predictive value of home BPV for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure hospitalizations. Utilizing a mobile application called Healthscan for daily BP monitoring, the study aims to enhance the understanding of how BPV impacts cardiovascular and metabolic health in a real-world setting.
Inclusion: Adults aged 19 years or older; Diagnosed with hypertension; Regular use of antihypertensive medication for at least two years; Access to a home blood pressure monitor; Comprehensive medical records available for the past year.
Exclusion: Participants who are unable to consent or who might not reliably use the home monitoring app.
