Blood pressure and heart period variability ratios derived from 24-h ambulatory measurements are predictors of all-cause mortality

Abstract: The 24-h BP to heart period variability ratios are powerful independent predictors of all-cause mortality, especially for elderly hypertensive patients with slow heart rate. The results support their interpretation as integrative indices of cardiovascular function and markers for cardiovascular dysregulation during low DBP states, with potential use in clinical practice.

“…Two recent studies by Melillo and colleagues in 200 hypertensive patients showed that depressed HR variability is associated with higher risk of progression to end‐stage renal disease, suggesting that autonomic dysfunction may lead to kidney damage. Moreover, a large‐scale study in 1246 hypertensive patients showed that the 24‐hour BP‐to‐HR variability ratio is a powerful independent predictor of all‐cause mortality, especially for elderly hypertensive patients with slow HR . The authors suggest this ratio as an integrative index of cardiovascular function and a marker for cardiovascular dysregulation during low diastolic BP states, with potential use in clinical practice …”

“…The variability of BP and HR in most studies has been evaluated with the standard deviation of the measurements performed . However, standard deviation is typically dependent on the mean value of the measured variable.…”
