3D.05: RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN 24-HOUR BLOOD PRESSURE VARIABILITY AND 24-HOUR AORTIC PRESSURE AND STIFFNESS IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS.

Objective:24-hour blood pressure variability (BPV) is a predictor of cardiovascular complications in hypertension, but its association with arterial stiffness is poorly understood. We recently showed that central aortic pressure and stiffness evaluated non-invasively over the 24-hours are increased
