Abstract
Blood pressure (BP) and its variability are associated with atherosclerotic disease and cardiovascular events. The prognostic implications of outpatient clinic visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) are unknown in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES). A total of 1,463 patients undergoing PCI with DES were consecutively enrolled from January 2009 to December 2013. We analyzed the 1,234 patients, who measured clinic BP more than three times during the first year after PCI. The BPV is determined by standard deviation of systolic and diastolic BP, and coefficient of variation. Median follow-up duration was 905 days (interquartile range 529–1,310 days). All patients were divided into two groups according to the coefficient of variation of systolic BP (CVSBP); high CVSBP group (> 8.78, n = 617) and low CVSBP group (≤ 8.78, n = 617). High CVSBP group had significantly higher all-cause mortality (7.9% versus 3.1%, p < 0.001) and composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke (13.1% versus 6.2%, p < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis for prediction of all-cause mortality, and composite of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, and stroke after PCI with DES, hazard ratios of high CVSBP group were 2.441 (95% of confidence interval 1.042–5.718, p = 0.040), and 1.980 (95% of confidence interval 1.125–3.485, p = 0.018). The higher visit-to-visit BPV is associated higher mortality in patients undergoing PCI with DES. The clinic measured visit-to-visit BPV may serve as a predictor of all-cause mortality after PCI with DES.
