Population

2,657 middle-aged Japanese male employees, mean age 46±9 years

Outcome

Strength of association between arterial stiffness and central hemodynamic indices (SBP1, SBP2, rAI, PP2, baPWV) and serum NT-pro BNP levelssurrogate

In middle-aged Japanese men, central pulse pressure (PP2) is the central hemodynamic index most closely associated with serum NT-pro BNP levels, suggesting that elevated NT-pro BNP reflects pathophysiological abnormalities related to increased central pulse pressure.
