Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) did not improve associations with total and cardiovascular mortality compared with brachial systolic blood pressure (P≤0.22).
Cohort
p-value: p=≤0.22
BACKGROUND: Whether central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) compared with brachial systolic blood pressure (bSBP) improves risk stratification remains debated. This study investigated whether cSBP is more closely associated with total and cardiovascular mortality than bSBP when recorded by 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring with an arm cuff-based oscillometric monitor. METHODS: coded death certificates. Linear and nonlinear Cox proportional hazard regression was applied with age as the underlying time-scale and adjusted for established cardiovascular risk factors. RESULTS: ≤0.22). CONCLUSIONS: cSBP compared with bSBP did not improve the associations with mortality. Measurement of the ambulatory bSBP is adequate for BP-based risk stratification.
An et al. (Wed,) conducted a cohort in Blood pressure risk stratification. Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) vs. Brachial systolic blood pressure (bSBP) was evaluated on Total and cardiovascular mortality (p=≤0.22). Central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) did not improve associations with total and cardiovascular mortality compared with brachial systolic blood pressure (P≤0.22).
