Key result
Higher serum B2M is linked to MACE and all-cause death in elderly isolated systolic hypertension.
Why the study?
Does serum B2M concentration predict cardiovascular events and all-cause deaths in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension?
Observational (n=460)
Does serum B2M concentration predict cardiovascular events and all-cause deaths in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension?
Serum beta-2 microglobulin may serve as an independent prognostic marker for cardiovascular events and mortality in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May identify higher-risk elderly ISH patients; leaves open incremental value over standard risk models.

Si et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Isolated systolic hypertension (n=460). Serum beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) concentration was evaluated on Cardiovascular events and all-cause death. Serum beta-2 microglobulin concentration was associated with major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause death in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension.
