Figure 1 As compared to patients with an acceptable variability of blood pressure and heart rate (top left) who have <4% cardiovascular morbidity after 6 years, the presence of DHRV or EPP alone (top middle) greatly increases the risk, even more so when both conditions coexist (top right). In each case, the added diagnosis of circadian blood pressure overswing, CHAT (bottom) further increases risk.
