Abstract:
Objective To explore the possibility of dynamic pulse pressure (DPP) being used to predict cardiovascular events in old men with normotension. Methods During May 1995 to September 2001, a 24h DPP monitoring was carried out on 858 old men with normotension (60-91 years old, BP60 mmHg, respectively. The first attack of cardiovascular event was recorded. Results In the 3 groups of subjects, the incidence of total cardiovascular events (100 persons per year) was 3.7, 5.8, and 9.1 respectively (log-rank test, P=0.000 9, 0.000 2, 0.000 0). After adjustment for the other risk factors including age, hypertension history, diabetes and previous cardiovascular disease, it has been found that the data of dynamic pulse pressure is of a significant value for predict cardiovascular events (P
