Implication

SBP and MAP may suffice for stroke and IHD risk stratification when resources are limited; leaves open optimal index selection in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

Which blood pressure index (SBP, DBP, MAP, or PP) is the most important risk factor for stroke and ischemic heart disease?

P
Population
Individuals in the Asia Pacific Region
I
Intervention
Blood pressure indices (systolic blood pressure [SBP], diastolic blood pressure [DBP], mean arterial pressure [MAP], and pulse pressure [PP]) as risk factors
O
Outcome
Fatal stroke and ischemic heart diseasehard clinical

Measuring only systolic blood pressure provides sufficient prognostic information for stroke and ischemic heart disease risk when resources are constrained.
