Summary: The study found that baseline nighttime systolic blood pressure and its variability can predict the blood pressure response to renal denervation in patients with hypertension, which is helpful in identifying potential responders.

Summary: This study found that high blood pressure variability in older adults, especially in men, is associated with increased risks of dementia and cognitive decline.

Summary: Blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with cerebral blood flow (CBF) decline, especially under standard blood pressure-lowering strategies. However, the relationship between BPV and CBF in samples with strictly controlled blood pressure remains understudied. This study found that higher BPV in the standard treatment group was associated with CBF decline in all regions, particularly in medial temporal regions. In the intensive treatment group, elevated BPV was related to CBF decline only in the hippocampus.

Summary: Psychological stress and physical activity have an impact on blood pressure variability, which is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events. Negative emotions and worksite location were found to significantly increase blood pressure, while physical activity had a weaker association. This suggests that psychological stress has a greater effect on blood pressure.

Summary: In the context of cerebral small vessel diseases (CSVD), the study found that 24-hour and nighttime systolic blood pressure measurements had stronger associations, with nighttime systolic blood pressure showing the strongest correlation. Controlling ambulatory blood pressure levels may offer additional benefits in preventing CSVD.

Summary: Research shows that increased blood pressure variability in older adults is associated with a decline in regional cerebral perfusion, potentially serving as an early marker of vascular dysfunction in aging.

Summary: Several outcome-based prospective investigations have shown the prognostic value of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in cardiovascular risk stratification. Average 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime blood pressures are essential components that improve risk assessment beyond traditional factors. However, the interpretation and clinical use of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring need standardization, and implementing its results in individual patient management remains challenging.

Summary: A comparison of cognitive decline trajectories between individuals with borderline hypertension and normal blood pressure showed no significant difference in decline rate, while those with high blood pressure exhibited significantly faster cognitive decline. Individuals with borderline hypertension may not need to start antihypertensive therapy considering cognitive decline.

Summary: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has become the preferred method for assessing blood pressure and rational use of antihypertensive drugs. Studies have shown a closer association of cardiovascular complications with 24-hour and nighttime blood pressure compared to office blood pressure. Different types of hypertension, such as white-coat hypertension and masked hypertension, can be identified through a combination of ambulatory and office blood pressure thresholds. The focus should be on the levels of 24-hour and nighttime blood pressure, as additional blood pressure indexes derived from 24-hour monitoring recordings do not significantly add to risk stratification or hypertension management.

Summary: This study found that patients with reflex syncope have a higher prevalence of systolic blood pressure drops during ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Cut-off values for these drops were defined, expanding the current indications for ABPM in patients with reflex syncope.

Summary: Impaired cerebral blood flow (CBF) at baseline is associated with faster cognitive decline in VCI and normal aging. Our results suggest that low CBF precedes and contributes to the development of vascular cognitive impairment. CBF determined by ASL might be used as a biomarker to monitor disease progression or treatment responses in VCI.

Summary: This study compared blood pressure variability (BPV) among different measurement methods and found that out-of-office BPV was higher than office BPV, with ambulatory BP monitoring giving the highest values. There was weak association among BPV indices assessed using different methods, but stronger agreement between out-of-office BPV indices in identifying individuals with high BPV. Older age was independently associated with increased office BPV, while older age, female sex, smoking, and overweight/obesity were determinants of increased out-of-office BPV. The study suggests that choosing the BPV index may be less important compared to the method of measurement, and office and out-of-office BP measurements can complement each other in assessing BPV.

Summary: This study analyzed ambulatory blood pressure measurements in children and adults who were treated with dexamethasone (DEX) prenatally. The results suggest that DEX treatment does not adversely affect blood pressure in individuals unaffected by congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Summary: The study found that SCD patients showed trends of decreased delta CBV, delta CBF, and delta CMRO2, as well as increased delta BOLD in the frontal lobe compared to the control group under lower loads, with significant differences under the 3-back load. Delta CBF was significantly correlated with delta CMRO2 in controls but not in SCD subjects. As N-back loads increased, differences in delta CBF and delta CMRO2 between SCD and control subjects tended to enlarge, while no significant between-group difference was observed in the parietal lobe.
