Laboratory brachial blood pressure and blood pressure variability
| Parameter | Control | COVID | P Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Systolic, mmHg | |||
| BP | 110 ± 7 | 111 ± 8 | 0.722 |
| SD | 5.0 ± 1.0 | 4.4 ± 0.9 | 0.134 |
| CV% | 4.5 ± 1.1 | 4.0 ± 0.8 | 0.116 |
| ARV | 2.1 ± 0.6 | 2.3 ± 0.7 | 0.471 |
| Diastolic, mmHg | |||
| BP | 66 ± 4 | 69 ± 6 | 0.135 |
| SD | 3.5 ± 0.8 | 3.5 ± 0.8 | 0.900 |
| CV% | 5.2 ± 1.2 | 5.1 ± 1.2 | 0.683 |
| ARVa | 1.8 ± 0.9 | 1.8 ± 0.7 | 0.590 |
| Mean, mmHg | |||
| BP | 81 ± 5 | 83 ± 6 | 0.334 |
| SDa | 3.7 ± 0.6 | 3.7 ± 0.9 | 0.732 |
| CV% | 4.6 ± 0.8 | 4.5 ± 1.1 | 0.809 |
| ARV | 1.3 ± 0.5 | 1.3 ± 0.3 | 0.977 |
Values are means ± SD. ARV, average real variability; BP, blood pressure; CV, coefficient of variation; SD, standard deviation. Independent sample t tests were used to compare between control (n = 10; 4 males) and COVID (n = 28; 11 males) groups. aNon-normalized data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test.
