The aim of our study was to evaluate visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (BPV) and the association of this parameter with cardiovascular risk determinants, according to the SEPHAR II survey. ⋯ The results of our study indicate a notable prevalence of high BPV, affecting almost a quarter of the Romanian adult population. Visit-to-visit systolic BPV and arterial stiffness are strongly correlated and together might contribute to the improvement of cardiovascular risk prediction models.
