Abstract
Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), independently of mean blood pressure (BP).However, in real world clinical practice, this phenomenon is frequently considered as random fluctuation.This review aimed to investigate the differences among studies investigating visit-to-visit BPV and CVD using electronic health record (EHR) and clinical trial data.Our review suggests that BP values in clinical trial data are derived using a stricter protocol compared to EHR data.Furthermore, there was no consensus on metrics used in estimation of BPV.
