Visit-to-visit and day-to-day variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) are associated with an increased risk of stroke, more strongly than variability on 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring, but underlying physiological mechanisms are unclear. We related potentially relevant physiological characteristics to beat-to-beat, ambulatory, and day-to-day BP variability to identify underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
