Elevated blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with lower cognitive scores in older adults. That link is more profound in older, Black adults, according to a new study. Anisa Dhana, PhD, a ...

CHICAGO — Middle-aged adults with long-term fluctuations in blood pressure may face a higher risk for sudden cardiac death than their peers with more consistent blood pressure readings, a large new ...

A recent Scientific Reports study assessed whether clinically derived measures of heart rate variability (HRV) and blood pressure variability (BPV) are associated with the manifestation of Alzheimer’s ...

Spontaneous fluctuations of blood pressure from visit to visit have usually been disregarded as a trivial factor that confounds the 'true' associations of an individual's long-term average blood ...

Fluctuations in blood pressure over an extended period, along with their interaction with mean blood pressure or intraocular pressure, are associated with a more rapid visual field progression in ...

A new study by Australian researchers has shown that fluctuating blood pressure can increase the risk of dementia and vascular problems in older people. Image Credit: University of South Australia ...

Over 70 million Americans wear digital activity trackers (DATs) to record their sleep, steps and heart rate. A new study from ...

High blood pressure is a known cardiovascular risk factor for cognitive function. In the current study, researchers investigated the link between visit-to-visit blood pressure variability and ...

A new study has found that short blood pressure fluctuations – across a day or several days – increase the risk of dementia in older adults. The findings suggest that blood pressure variability could ...

A new study by Australian researchers has shown that fluctuating blood pressure can increase the risk of dementia and vascular problems in older people. Short blood pressure (BP) fluctuations within ...
