Blood Pressure Variability in Non-hypertensive Patients With Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease, Blood Pressure Variability
In brief
This study is a single-center prospective cohort of patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) who have not met the diagnostic criteria for hypertension. Ambulatory 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) will be performed at baseline and one year after the enrollment. The primary purpose of the study is to delineate the relationship of blood pressure variability (BPV) with the risk of composite vascular events in non-hypertensive patients with ICVD. The factors related to BPV, as well as the potential modulators of the associations between BPV and vascular risk, will be further explored among these patients.
