Abstract：Objective To observe the characteristics of blood pressure variability in patients with H-type hypertension. Methods The patients (n=80) were continuously chosen from the Outpatient Department of Chinese PLA Academy of Military Science from Feb. 2011 to Feb. 2013, and given the detection of plasma homocysteine (Hcy) level and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The patients were divided, according to Hcy level, into H-type hypertension group (n=44) and non-H-type hypertension group (n=36). The characteristics of blood pressure variability were compared and analyzed between two groups. Results The levels of 24-h SSD [(15.83± 4.02) mmHg vs. (13.25±3.89) mmHg], dSSD [(16.82±4.98) mmHg vs. (12.75±3.86) mmHg, dDSD [(10.29±2.23) mmHg vs. (8.62±1.82) mmHg], and nSSD [(12.88±4.54) mmHg vs. (10.12±3.36) mmHg] increased significantly in H-type hypertension group compared with non-H-type hypertension group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The blood pressure variability is higher in the patients with H-type hypertension than that in those with non-H-type hypertension.
