Limitations of the usual blood-pressure hypothesis and importance of variability, instability, and episodic hypertension

Limitations of the usual blood-pressure hypothesis and importance of variability, instability, and episodic hypertension

By: Peter M Rothwell   Abstract: Although hypertension is the most prevalent treatable vascular risk factor, how it causes end-organ damage and vascular events are poorly understood. Yet, a widespread belief exists that underlying usual blood pressure can alone account for all blood-pressure-related risk of vascular events and for the benefits of antihypertensive drugs, and […]
