TL;DR: This is the first demonstration from a large database that not only average 24 h PP and SBP values, but also 24 h BP fluctuations, are associated with, and possibly determinants of, the alterations of large artery structure in hypertension.

TL;DR: This review deals with a number of issues related to blood pressure variability, including historical aspects, with reference to the first pioneering observations, and methodological aspects, focusing on the different methods for quantifyingBlood pressure variability.

TL;DR: Further developments of the original technology for finger blood pressure monitoring introduced by Penáz et al., as well as on newer devices that have been proposed over the last few years for non-invasive cardiovascular monitoring both in research and in clinical studies are focused on.

TL;DR: In daily life, hypertensive subjects are characterized by steeper blood pressure changes than normotensives, and this, regardless of the mechanisms, may have clinical implications, because it may be associated with greater traumatic effect on the vessel walls of hypertensive patients.

TL;DR: New insights into the mechanisms responsible for the appearance of chronic hypertension in individuals suffering from recurrent nocturnal apnoeic episodes are provided, based both on experimental studies in animals and on clinical studies in humans.
