Objective Diastolic dysfunction is associated with increased arterial stiffness in patients with
hypertension. However, the role of arterial stiffness in diastolic dysfunction in subjects …

Aims It is unclear whether a J-curve association exists in cardiovascular risk prediction and
how independently systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) predict cardiovascular …

Results One hundred and thirty-five (41.8%) patients died, resulting in a mortality rate of
14.5% for year. In 60% of cases the cause of death was of cardiovascular origin. Subjects …

Blood pressure (BP) is an important predictor of future cardiovascular risk. Clinicians have
traditionally recognized the importance of systolic BP, especially in older adults. 1 BP is also …

Objective: The three indexes derived from the inter-limb systolic blood pressure difference
(ISBPD), namely inter-arm (IASBPD) and-leg (ILSBPD) systolic blood pressure differences …

We compared systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure
(MAP) and pulse pressure (PP) as independent predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Historically, the importance of the arterial pulse wave was already observed by the
Egyptians and the Chinese, before Christ. The knowledge of peripheral hemodynamics …

Purpose To explore the relationship between ankle-brachial blood pressure index (ABPI)
and all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in adults without arterial stiffness. Methods A total …

Objectives: The present study investigated whether central blood pressure (BP) predicts
cardiovascular (CV) events better than brachial BP in a cohort of normotensive and …

Background Blood pressure (BP) changes overtime, represented by BP variability (BPV),
cumulative BP (cumBP), and BP trajectory (trajBP), have been proved to be associated with …
