Objectives This study determines the predictive value of brachial pulse pressure for
cardiovascular stroke and coronary mortality in a large population categorized by blood …

The aim of this paper is to evaluate whether pulse pressure is an independent risk factor for
coronary and stroke mortality in 3282 subjects (1281 males and 2001 females) aged S 65 …

Studies on the usefulness of blood pressure as a prognostic factor in cardiovascular disease
have more often involved investigations of the levels of diastolic or systolic blood pressure …

Again, the Framingham group has provided another surprise to the medical community with
publication of its longitudinal follow-up study of persons over 50 years of age that has linked …

Previously we demonstrated that pulse pressure is a strong risk factor for coronary events in
male hypertensive subjects in the MRC Mild Hypertension Trial, whereas stroke is best …

There is now increasing evidence that high pulse pressure, which is an indicator of large
artery stiffness, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, especially coronary …

A wide pulse pressure (PP) may constitute an independent predictor of cardiovascular
morbidity and mortality. We assessed the reference values of brachial clinic PP, according to …

The current guidelines for the detection and management of high blood pressure depend
exclusively on the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, although these are …

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 …

The aim of this work was to evaluate whether pulse pressure (PP) in elderly people is a
better predictor of coronary mortality than systolic and diastolic blood pressure taken alone …
