Key result
A wide 24-h pulse pressure (≥53.3 mmHg) was associated with a significantly higher incidence of cardiovascular events compared to narrower pulse pressures (20.7% vs. 4.1%; P<0.001).
Why the study?
Does a wide 24-h pulse pressure predict cardiovascular events in relatively young type 2 diabetic subjects?

May aid risk stratification in young T2D; leaves open whether targeting wide 24-h PP improves outcomes.

Does a wide 24-h pulse pressure predict cardiovascular events in relatively young type 2 diabetic subjects?
Absolute Event Rate: 20.7% vs 4.1%
p-value: p=<0.001
A wide 24-h pulse pressure independently predicts subsequent cardiovascular events in relatively young type 2 diabetic subjects without prior vascular complications.
Nakano et al. (2005) conducted a cohort in Type 2 diabetes (n=228). Wide 24-h pulse pressure (≥53.3 mmHg) vs. Narrower 24-h pulse pressure (<53.3 mmHg) was evaluated on Cardiovascular events (p=<0.001). A wide 24-h pulse pressure (≥53.3 mmHg) was associated with a significantly higher incidence of cardiovascular events compared to narrower pulse pressures (20.7% vs. 4.1%; P<0.001).
