Background— Few population studies addressed the prognostic significance of aortic pulse
wave velocity (APWV) above and beyond other cardiovascular risk factors. Methods and …

In previous studies, of which several were underpowered, the relation between cardiovascular
outcome and blood pressure (BP) variability was inconsistent. We followed health …

Aims It is unclear whether subclinical vascular damage adds significantly to Systemic Coronary
Risk Evaluation (SCORE) risk stratification in healthy subjects. Methods and results In a …

Objective To investigate the multivariate-adjusted predictive value of systolic and diastolic
blood pressures on conventional (CBP) and daytime (10–20 h) ambulatory (ABP) …

Background We and other investigators previously reported that isolated nocturnal hypertension
on ambulatory measurement (INH) clustered with cardiovascular risk factors and was …

The relationship between ambulatory blood pressure and mortality in a general Western
population is unknown. Therefore, we conducted this prospective study of a random sample of …

Objectives : The goal was to clarify if insulin resistance (IR) would predict cardiovascular
disease (CVD) independent of the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). Background : Although the …

Background: Information on the relationship between ambulatory blood pressure (BP) and
cardiovascular disease in the general population is sparse. Methods: Prospective study of a …

High triglyceride (TG) and low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) is the characteristic dyslipidemia
seen in insulin-resistant subjects. We examined the role of this dyslipidemia as a risk factor of …

Importance Blood pressure (BP) is a known risk factor for overall mortality and cardiovascular
(CV)-specific fatal and nonfatal outcomes. It is uncertain which BP index is most strongly …
