Supports independent inflammation-pulse pressure link in healthy adults; extends prognostic observations but leaves causal role open for prospective study.
Cross-Sectional (n=891)
p-value: p=<0.001
The positive association between pulse pressure and C-reactive protein is independent of arterial structure and aortic stiffness in healthy subjects.
Amar et al. (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy subjects (n=891). Pulse pressure was evaluated on Relationship between pulse pressure and C reactive protein (p=<0.001). Pulse pressure was positively associated with C reactive protein (P<0.001), and this relationship remained significant after adjusting for arterial structure and aortic stiffness (P<0.05).
