Mortality and cardiovascular events are best predicted by low central/peripheral pulse pressure amplification but not by high blood pressure levels in elderly nursing home subjects: the PARTAGE (Predictive Values of Blood Pressure and Arterial Stiffness in Institutionalized Very Aged Population) study.
OBJECTIVES The aim of the longitudinal PARTAGE study was to determine the predictive value of blood pressure (BP) and pulse pressure amplification, a marker of arterial function, for overall mortality (primary endpoint) and major cardiovascular (CV) events, in subjects older than 80 years of age living in a nursing home. BACKGROUND Assessment of pulse indexes may be important in the evaluatio...
متن کاملTwenty‐Four‐Hour Central Pulse Pressure for Cardiovascular Events Prediction in a Low‐Cardiovascular‐Risk Population: Results From the Bordeaux Cohort
BACKGROUND Central blood pressure (BP) is a promising marker to identify subjects with higher cardiovascular risk than expected by traditional risk factors. Significant results have been obtained in populations with high cardiovascular risk, but little is known about low-cardiovascular-risk patients, although the differences between central and peripheral BP (amplification) are usually greater ...
متن کاملPressure amplification explains why pulse pressure is unrelated to risk in young subjects.
Pulse pressure rather than diastolic pressure is the best predictor of coronary heart disease risk in older subjects, but the converse is true in younger subjects. We hypothesized that this disparity results from an age-related difference in pressure amplification from the aorta to brachial artery. Data from 212 subjects age < 50 years and 230 subjects age > or =50 years were abstracted from a ...
متن کاملComparison of the effect of 8 weeks of aerobic and resistance training on lipid profile and blood pressure of inactive obese women with hypertension
Background and Objectives: Lack of physical activity is a worrying condition because it leads to major health problems such as obesity, high blood pressure and various metabolic disorders. Exercise is a lifestyle change suggested to reduce atherogenic markers in adults. Increased physical activity and fitness are clearly associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, but the optimal ...
متن کاملFrom 'optimal' to 'borderline' blood pressure in subjects under chronic antihypertensive therapy.
OBJECTIVES The ESH2003 report (J Hypertens 2003, 21:1011-1053) has classified brachial blood pressure into six groups reflecting the consistently increasing cardiovascular risk caused by high blood pressure. Chronically treated hypertensive individuals with well-controlled blood pressure retain higher cardiovascular risk than normotensive untreated individuals. Differences between these groups ...
