The pulse pressure-to-stroke index ratio predicts cardiovascular events and death in uncomplicated hypertension.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to assess the prognostic power of the pulse pressure-to-stroke index (PP-to-SVi) ratio for cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with uncomplicated hypertension. BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of pulse pressure (PP) has been studied repeatedly, but few data are available on the PP-to-SVi ratio. METHODS Invasive hemodynamic measurements...
متن کاملBrachial blood pressure but not carotid arterial waveforms predict cardiovascular events in elderly female hypertensives.
Central arterial waveforms and related indices of large artery properties can be determined with relative ease. This would make them an attractive adjunct in the risk stratification for cardiovascular disease. Although they have been associated with some classical risk factors and the presence of coronary disease, their prospective value in predicting cardiovascular outcomes is unknown. The pre...
متن کاملPulse pressure and cardiovascular events in postmenopausal women with coronary heart disease.
BACKGROUND Pulse pressure (PP) has been shown to predict risk for cardiovascular events in men; however, this association has not been well established in women. Hormone replacement therapy may improve arterial compliance, but findings from cross-sectional and prospective studies report inconsistent results. We sought to examine the relationship between PP and risk for cardiovascular events, an...
متن کاملPulse Pressure and Risk for Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Atherothrombosis: From the REACH Registry.
BACKGROUND Pulse pressure (PP) provides valuable prognostic information in specific populations, but few studies have assessed its value on cardiovascular outcomes in a broad, worldwide population. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether PP is associated with major adverse cardiovascular outcomes, independently of mean arterial pressure. METHODS Participants from the inter...
متن کاملBaseline albuminuria predicts the efficacy of blood pressure-lowering drugs in preventing cardiovascular events.
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT Albuminuria has been proven to be associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Such an association has been found not only in subjects with diabetes and hypertension, but also in the general population. It could therefore be expected that especially subjects with higher albuminuria levels may benefit from blood pressure-lowering agents to impr...
