Pulse pressure measured at the level of the femoral artery, but not at the level of the aorta, carotid and brachial arteries, is associated with the incidence of coronary heart disease events in a population with a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose metabolism – The Hoorn study

Pulse pressure measured at the level of the femoral artery, but not at the level of the aorta, carotid and brachial arteries, is associated with the incidence of coronary heart disease events in a population with a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and impaired glucose metabolism – The Hoorn study

Introduction: Central (aortic or carotid) pulse pressure (PP) is more strongly associated with local organ damage and possibly mortality than brachial PP. Aim: To investigate for the first time the association of femoral (f) PP with all-cause mortality, and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), co...
