ObjectivesVisit-to-visit blood pressure variability (VVV BPV) is an underutilised risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study aims to determine the minimum number of BP measurements needed and to identify cut-off values for the standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), and average real variability (ARV) of systolic and diastolic VVV BPV to predict CVD risk in primary care. MethodsWe analysed data from the electronic practice-based research network (ePBRN) in Southwest...
