Description:

JACC Associate Editor Theresa McDonagh, MBBCH  speaks with author Akshay S. Desai, MD, FACC about this paper on pulse pressure published in JACC and presented at AHA. In a pooled analysis of 16,950 patients with chronic HFmrEF or HFpEF enrolled from 4 global randomized clinical trials, a J-shaped relationship was observed between SBP and the risk of adverse CV events, with the lowest risk occurring at SBP values between 120 and 130 mmHg. A similar pattern was seen with PP, with the lowest risk found between 50 and 60 mmHg. Both higher SBP and higher PP independently predicted adverse CV events. Notably, PP remained a strong predictor of CV risk, independent of baseline SBP.
