Isolated diastolic hypertension, pulse pressure, and mean arterial pressure as predictors of mortality during a follow-up of up to 32 years

Abstract

These results demonstrate the often neglected role of SBP in predicting long-term CVD risk in middle-aged men. When SBP is less than 140 mmHg, IDH is not associated with significantly increased risk of mortality. Administrative guidelines, which affect population health, should also take due note of SBP.
