Seasonal variation of blood pressure (BP) is a topic in cardiology that has gained more attention throughout the years. Although it is extensively documented that BP increases in seasons coupled with lower temperatures, there are still many gaps in this knowledge field that need to be explored. Notably, seasonal variation of BP phenotypes, such as masked and white coat hypertension, and the impact of air pollution, latitude, and altitude on seasonal variation of BP are still poorly described in the literature, and the levels of the existing evidence are low. Therefore, further investigations on these topics are needed to provide robust evidence that can be used in clinical practice.
血压(BP)的季节性变化是心脏病学领域一个多年来受到更多关注的话题。尽管有大量文献记载血压在气温较低的季节会升高,但该知识领域仍存在许多有待探索的空白。值得注意的是,血压表型(如隐匿性高血压和白大衣高血压)的季节性变化以及空气污染、纬度和海拔对血压季节性变化的影响在文献中仍鲜有描述,现有证据水平较低。因此,需要对这些主题进行进一步研究,以提供可用于临床实践的有力证据。
