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 کاملStroke volume/pulse pressure ratio and cardiovascular risk in arterial hypertension.
Ratio of stroke volume (SV, M-mode echocardiography) to pulse pressure (PP) has been proposed as an estimate of total arterial compliance and has been shown to be related to body size, age, and heart rate in normal adults. SV/PP was estimated in 294 hypertensive patients (98 women) as a raw value by use of SV/body surface area (SVi) and by the ratio of SV/PP to the value predicted by a previous...
متن کاملArterial compliance in patients with cirrhosis: stroke volume-pulse pressure ratio as simplified index.
Arterial function may be altered in patients with cirrhosis. We determined compliance of the arterial tree (C(1)) in relation to systemic and splanchnic hemodynamic derangement and clinical variables. C(1) and the stroke volume-pulse pressure index (SV/PP) were significantly higher (+62% and +40%, respectively; P < 0.001) in cirrhotic patients (n = 49) than in control subjects (n = 19), and a c...
متن کاملDaytime and nighttime blood pressure as predictors of death and cause-specific cardiovascular events in hypertension.
Our aim was to assess the prognostic significance of nighttime and daytime ambulatory blood pressure and their ratio for mortality and cause-specific cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients without major cardiovascular disease at baseline. We performed a meta-analysis on individual data of 3468 patients from 4 prospective studies performed in Europe. Age of the subjects averaged 61+/-13 ...
متن کاملPulse pressure and subclinical cardiovascular damage in primary hypertension.
BACKGROUND High pulse pressure (PP) values have recently been implicated in the development and progression of large vessel atherosclerosis, small vessel disease, and in the occurrence of cardiovascular events. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between PP and subclinical cardiovascular damage in a cohort of unselected middle-aged patients (204 male, 129 female) wit...
