Relationship Between Short-Term Blood Pressure Variability and Large-Artery Stiffness in Human Hypertension Findings From 2 Large Databases

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured short-term systolic blood pressure (SBP) variability over 24 hours to predict cardiovascular complications in hypertension, but its association with largeartery stiffness is poorly understood and confounded by methodologic issues related to the assessment of BP variations over 24-hours.

A new method for assessing 24-h blood pressure variability after excluding the contribution of nocturnal blood pressure fall

TL;DR: A new method for computing 24-h BP variability, devoid of the contribution from nocturnal BP fall is proposed, which removes the mathematical interference from night-time BP fall and correlates better with end-organ damage, therefore it may be considered as a simple index of 24- h BP variability superior to conventional 24-H SD.

Assessing the prognostic relevance of blood pressure variability: discrepant information from different indices

TL;DR: Calculation of 24-h blood pressure SD does not provide a fully satisfactory quantification of the features characterizing blood pressure variations over 24 h.

Impact of multi-electrode renal sympathetic denervation on short-term blood pressure variability in patients with drug-resistant hypertension. Insights from the EnligHTN I study.

TL;DR: Although standard BP variability indexes remained unchanged, the rate of systolic and diastolic BP variation was significantly decreased 6months after RDN in patients with drug-resistant hypertension, suggesting novel indexes might also be useful as predictors of response.
