Article Abstract

Visit-to-visit blood pressure (BP) variability (VVV) is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and cognitive decline, but several studies have recently shown that VVV also increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although the relationship between VVV and AD has been extensively studied, its pathophysiology is instructive due to its association with vascular stiffness, cerebral circulatory failure, decreased cardiac function, and AD pathology such as amyloid β and tau-proteins. This review article focuses on the relationship between VVV and cognitive function and summarizes recent studies and the underlying pathophysiology that appears to be mediated by systemic hemodynamic disruption.

Purpose: We aimed to compare the visit-to-visit variability in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) according to different lipid-lowering strategies and evaluate its prognostic implications using data from previous trials.

Materials And Methods: We analyzed two randomized clinical trials: the RACING trial and the LODESTAR trial. LDL-C variability was evaluated using standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation, and variation independent of mean.

Background: Although recent evidence suggests that glycemic variability (GV) has a negative impact on neurodegeneration, its role in Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear.

Objective: To explore the association between long-term GV and longitudinal motor and nonmotor progression in patients with PD and to uncover the disease-specific and nonspecific mechanisms underlying this association.

Methods: We used data obtained from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative cohort.

Background: Visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (VVV BPV) is a recognised risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) that is underutilised in clinical practice. The reliability of electronic health record (EHR) data in estimating BPV and predicting CVD remains uncertain. This study compared BPV estimation methodologies using EHR versus non-EHR data and examined dose-response associations with CVD.
