Abstract:
Objective To find out the correlation of elderly blood pressure variability and heart and cerebrovascular diseases.Methods 133 cases of non-hypertensive elderly accepted the 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring,the 24 hours,day,night systolic blood pressure variability and diastolic blood pressure variation were analyzed,and incidence of coronary heart disease,arrhythmia,hyperlipidemia were investigated according to the degree of variation.Results The incidence of arrhythmia,coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia of the elderly which 24 hours,day,night systolic blood pressure variation standard deviation or diastolic blood pressure variation standard deviation were greater than the upper limit of normsl were significantly higher than the elderly whose value within the normal range ( P < 0.05 or P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Elderly non-hypertensive blood pressure variability and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases have significant contact,blood pressure variability can be as important risk factors which determine the pathogenesis and prognosis of cardiovascular disease in this population.
