Does wide pulse pressure predict cardiovascular mortality in young normotensive subjects?

Population

7,346 participants, aged 25-74 years, with baseline blood pressure levels <140/90 mmHg and without a history of hypertension. Mean age 43.4 years, mean blood pressure 118/76 mmHg.

Intervention

Wide pulse pressure (highest quartile, ≥50 mmHg; or ≥48 mmHg in men and ≥46 mmHg in women)

Comparator

Lower pulse pressure (<36 mmHg in men and <34 mmHg in women)

Outcome

Deaths from cardiovascular diseasehard clinical

A wide pulse pressure is a significant predictor of cardiovascular mortality in young, normotensive individuals, suggesting it may serve as an early marker of cardiovascular risk.
