Summary: Blood pressure variability is related to cerebral white matter hyperintensities, but long-term studies on WMH progression are rare. Absence of diastolic nocturnal dipping is associated with higher baseline WMH volume, while 24-hour diastolic ARV is significantly associated with WMH progression, particularly in participants with low cerebral perfusion at baseline.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) patterns in eyes with chronic primary angle-closure disease and evaluate the associations between peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) and the 24-hour IOP pattern. The results showed that the 24-hour IOP fluctuation was highest in eyes with primary angle closure glaucoma. Although eyes with primary angle closure and primary angle closure glaucoma showed higher peak IOP and 24-hour IOP fluctuation values compared to eyes with primary angle closure without laser iridotomy, the trough IOP in these eyes were mostly below 21 mmHg. In addition, the degree of PAS was associated with the 24-hour IOP pattern in eyes with either primary angle closure or primary angle closure glaucoma.

Summary: Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) is more closely associated with hypertension-mediated organ damage and prognosis than brachial systolic blood pressure. This study investigated the 24-hour profiles of brachial and central SBP in untreated adults, providing reference values and analyzing daytime-nighttime variability. The findings have potential implications for refining hypertension diagnosis and management.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the impact of autonomic dysfunction in idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) on circadian blood pressure profile. Results showed that iRBD patients had impaired 24-hour blood pressure control, characterized by reduced nocturnal dipping and increased frequency of nondipping status, similar to patterns seen in de novo PD patients. These findings may have implications for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in iRBD.

Summary: This study compared ambulatory blood pressure monitoring data between patients with reflex syncope and a control group. The findings showed that patients with reflex syncope had lower 24-hour systolic blood pressure, higher 24-hour diastolic blood pressure, and more frequent daytime drops in systolic blood pressure.

Summary: This study found that SGLT2 inhibitors can lower daytime and nighttime ambulatory blood pressure in normotensive non-diabetic subjects, with effects comparable to those seen in diabetic or hypertensive patients. Baseline ambulatory blood pressure levels were identified as a significant determinant of blood pressure response.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy and safety of fixed-dose combinations of NET/LAT and BIM/TIM in treating OAG and OHT, finding that NET/LAT was non-inferior to BIM/TIM in reducing intraocular pressure with comparable safety profiles.

Summary: This study compares the efficacy and tolerability of switching from bimatoprost 0.01% to 0.03% in a real-world clinical setting. The results show that the switch leads to a significant reduction in intraocular pressure in different types of glaucoma, except for secondary open-angle glaucoma.

Summary: This study compared the accuracy of a new photoplethysmography-based wearable device with a standard cuff-based ABPM device for monitoring blood pressure. The results showed that the cuffless device provides comparable measurements with significantly less discomfort to the subject.

Summary: The study suggests that measures of pulsatile hemodynamics obtained during 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring may predict the blood pressure response to renal denervation (RDN) treatment. Measurements such as the augmentation index, augmentation pressure, and pulse wave velocity showed a consistent inverse relationship with blood pressure response, indicating their potential utility in predicting favorable outcomes following RDN.

Summary: There are significant changes in ocular biometric parameters in patients with ocular hypertension over a 24-hour period. The supine intraocular pressure increases at night, corneal thickness increases, anterior chamber deepens, and axial length increases. Brimonidine does not alter these parameters.

Summary: This is a prospective, observer-masked, randomized clinical trial conducted at Eye Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from December 2018 to June 2021. The trial compared the short-term efficacy of primary single-selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) to 0.005% latanoprost eye drops for the treatment of 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with newly diagnosed primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) in Beijing, China. Both SLT and latanoprost significantly decreased mean 24-hour IOP and peak IOP, with latanoprost showing a more potent effect. The latanoprost eye drops may be better in decreasing mean and peak 24-hour IOP and controlling IOP fluctuation compared to SLT.

Summary: This study aimed to assess whether 24-hour urine oxalate excretion is associated with the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The results showed that as the urine oxalate excretion increased, the risk of developing CKD also increased. Therefore, future studies should investigate whether reducing urine oxalate can decrease the risk of CKD.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between blood pressure variability (BPV) and ischemic stroke subtypes. The results showed differences in BPV among different subtypes of ischemic stroke, and BPV was significantly associated with ischemic stroke in 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Higher systolic blood pressure and systolic BPV were independent predictors for large-artery atherosclerosis stroke, while increased nighttime diastolic BPV was an independent risk factor for cardioembolic stroke.
