TL;DR: The results confirm that the level of blood pressure achieved by treatment and the degree of end-organ damage at the time of initial evaluation are important determinants of future end- Organ damage related to hypertension and constitute the first longitudinal evidence that the cardiovascular complications of hypertension may depend on the degree on 24-h blood pressure variability.

TL;DR: All powers of diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure and high-frequency powers of systolicBlood pressure estimated from analysis of finger blood pressure tracings were superimposable to those obtained by analyzing invasive recordings.

TL;DR: Time and frequency domain estimates of spontaneous BRS allow earlier detection of diabetic autonomic dysfunction than classical laboratory autonomic tests, and are suggested to be more evident than the simple quantification of the RR interval variability.

TL;DR: 24-h baroreflex sensitivity is markedly impaired by aging, and the impairment becomes manifest also as an inability to increase barore Flex sensitivity at night.

TL;DR: The standard deviation of the mean difference (s.d.d.) between blood pressures obtained in each recording was taken as the reciprocal of blood pressure reproducibility, which was highest for office blood pressure and for single blood pressure readings taken from 24-h non-invasive recordings.
