Baseline Serum Biomarkers of Inflammation and Subsequent Visit-to-Visit Blood Pressure Variability: A Post-hoc Analysis of MESA

CONCLUSION: A higher level of serum IL-6 was associated with increased subsequent BPV in a large multiracial cohort. Further investigation is needed to better understand the relationship between chronic inflammation and BPV, as the causality of inflammatory markers in the blood pressure mechanism remains to be uncertain.PMID:36315490 | DOI:10.1093/ajh/hpac122
