Visit-to-visit blood pressure (BP) variability has been reported to be a major risk for cardiovascular events. Renin angiotensin system (RAS) gene polymorphisms are reportedly genetic risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and arterial stiffness. In this study, we aimed to reveal the relationship between visit-to-visit BP variability and RAS gene polymorphisms.
