BACKGROUND Increased attention has been given to pulse pressure (PP) as a potential
independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined the relationship …

BACKGROUND Pulse pressure (PP) is a potential risk factor of stroke. The relationship of
incident stroke with systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean …

Background—Current definitions of hypertension are based on levels of systolic blood
pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), but not on pulse pressure (PP). We …

Objective: This study aims to develop and validate a stroke risk model incorporating pulse
pressure (PP) as a potential risk factor. Recent evidence suggests that PP, defined as the …

Background Recent evidence suggests that pulse pressure (PP) is a strong cardiovascular
diseases' risk factor. We systematically evaluated all relevant studies to determine whether …

Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies of age-related increases in blood pressure (BP)
have shown that mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels off by approximately age 50 …

Background Whether pulse pressure amplification (PPA) relates to established markers of
cardiovascular risk is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship …

Objectives: Wide pulse pressure (PP) is an independent predictor of coronary heart disease
(CHD). However, the linearity of the relation between PP and CHD was not examined …

Aim The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between pulse pressure (PP)
and cardiovascular outcomes in a large, elderly, coronary artery disease (CAD) population …

An increased pulse pressure suggests aortic stiffening. New evidence also suggests that
pulse pressure is a more sensitive measure of risk than other indexes of blood pressure in …
