[OP.1C.01] Increased Blood Pressure Variability predicts all-cause mortality in patients with diabetes free of cardiovascular disease and not on antihypertensive drugs.

Blood pressure variability has been associated with risk of cardiovascular events in observational studies, independently of mean blood pressure (BP) levels. BP variability is typically summarized as the standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), or variation independent of mean (VIM), of blood pressure over multiple office blood pressure readings, days apart
