Pulse pressure for selecting the optimal cardiac strategy in patients with type 2 diabetes and coronary artery disease

“…However, the clinical significance of pulse pressure in younger patients remains controversial. A recent study has suggested that office pulse pressure is a negative predictor of MACE in young patients with hypertension [30]. Although the present study found that high pulse pressure was associated with an increased risk of MACE and that there was no significant interaction between the cardiac treatment strategy and age in patients with pulse pressure b 60 mmHg and those with pulse pressure ≥ 60 mmHg, further investigations are needed to assess whether these results are observed in younger patients.…”

Isolated systolic hypertension and central blood pressure: Implications from the national nutrition and health survey in Taiwan

“…Similarly, the HELIUS study found a U‐shaped association between brachial/central SBP and age for subjects aged <40 years old 12 . The J‐shaped association between age and ISH prevalence has been reported in prior studies 12,25,31 . For example, the NHANES 1999–2004 that male aged 30–39 years old had a lower ISH prevalence rate than those male aged 18–29 years old (1.94% vs. 2.48%) 25 .…”

Isolierte systolische Hypertonie (ISH) – Alt gegen Jung

“…Die Prognose ist dementsprechend gut und eine blutdrucksenkende Therapie ist den Leitlinien entsprechend nicht erforderlich [14,18,19]. Im Gegensatz zur ISH im Alter gilt: je höher die Blutdruckamplitude bei den Jungen, umso besser ist die Prognose [20].…”
