Genome-wide linkage analysis of pulse pressure in Mexican Americans.
Pulse pressure, a measure of aortic stiffness, is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality. To locate genes that affect pulse pressure, we performed genetic analysis on randomly ascertained families in the San Antonio Family Heart Study. Pulse pressure was defined as the difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Likelihood methods were used to construct a model that had b...
متن کاملIsolated systolic hypertension : prognostic information provided by pulse pressure.
Increased arterial stiffness results in increased characteristic impedance of the aorta and increased pulse wave velocity, which increases systolic and pulse pressures. An association between increased pulse pressure and adverse cardiovascular events has been found in normotensive and hypertensive patient populations. Increased pulse pressure has also been associated with thickening of the caro...
متن کاملPulse pressure, arterial stiffness, and drug treatment of hypertension.
Epidemiological studies in the past decade have stressed the importance of pulse pressure as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We briefly review the epidemiological evidence and discuss in more detail the pathophysiological basis for this observation and the therapeutic consequences. We focus on the vascular determinants of increased pulse pressure. Both lon...
متن کاملDairy consumption and hypertension: arterial stiffness and pulse pressure.
Dairy Consumption and Hypertension: Arterial Stiffness and Pulse Pressure To the Editor: We read with interest the meta-analysis of dairy consumption and hypertension by Soedamah-Muthu et al1 in the November 2012 issue of Hypertension. Using a stringent set of exclusionary criteria, a literature consisting of 1709 unique prospective studies of dairy and milk consumption was reduced to 9 studies...
متن کاملVascular development, pulse pressure, and the mechanisms of hypertension.
For a given cardiac function, the cyclic blood pressure (BP) curve results from 2 different phenotypes: the mean arterial pressure (MAP), a steady component reflecting the resistance of the microvascular network, and pulse pressure (PP), another component corresponding to large artery stiffness and wave reflections. Around birth, cardiovascular (CV) survival is critically influenced by the coup...
