Antihypertensive drug class effects on inter-individual blood pressure variability and the associated risk of stroke
<p>Visit-to-visit variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) predicts the subsequent risk of stroke, independent of mean SBP. It was reduced by amlodipine and increased by atenolol in the ASCOT-BPLA and MRC randomized controlled trials (RCTs), explaining the difference in risk of stroke bet...
