Background:The optimal cutoff values of the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) were examined in patients with hypertension.Methods and Results:A total of 7,656 participants were followed prospectively. The hazard ratio for the development of CVD increased significantly as the baPWV increased, independent of conventional risk factors. The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff values for predicting CVD was 18.3 m/s. This cutoff value significantly predicted THE incidence of CVD.Conclusions:The present analysis suggests that the optimal cutoff value for CVD in patients with hypertension is 18.3 m/s.

Background:The cardiovascular prognosis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been shown to be similar to that of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It is unknown which factors predict cardiovascular outcome in HFpEF. We tested the hypothesis that the abnormal pattern of circadian blood pressure (BP) rhythm known as the riser BP pattern is associated with adverse outcomes in HFpEF.Methods and Results:We performed a prospective, observational cohort study of hospitalized HF patients who underwent ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Five hundred and sixteen hospitalized HF patients (age, 69±13 years; male, n=321 [62%]; female, n=195 [38%]) were followed up for a median 20.9 months. The composite outcome consisting of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events was observed in 220 patients. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, the riser BP pattern subgroup had a significantly higher incidence of the composite outcome than the other subgroups of HFpEF patients (HR, 3.01; 95% CI: 1.54–6.08, P<0.01), but not the HFrEF patients.Conclusions:The riser BP pattern was found to be a novel predictor of cardiovascular outcome in HFpEF patients.

Background:Rising blood pressure (BP) in the morning, known as the morning BP surge (MBPS), is known to pose a risk for cardiovascular events in hypertensive individuals. It was not known whether the MBPS was associated with a worse prognosis in patients with heart failure (HF) with a reduced (HFrEF) or preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction.Methods and Results:We performed a prospective, observational cohort study of hospitalized HF patients who underwent ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). The MBPS was calculated by subtracting the mean systolic BP (SBP) during the 1 h that included the lowest sleep BP from the mean SBP during the 2 h after waking. The MBPS group was defined as the top decile of MBPS (>40 mmHg). In all, 456 hospitalized HF patients (mean [±SD] age 68±13 years, 63.9% male) were followed-up for a median of 1.67 years. There were 90 events (16.3 per 100 person-years) of the composite outcome (all-cause mortality and worsening HF) in the HFrEF group, compared with 53 events (19.6 per 100 person-years) in the HFpEF group. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that MBPS was a significant predictor of outcome (hazard ratio 2.84, 95% confidence interval 1.58–5.10, P<0.01) in the HFrEF but not HFpEF group.Conclusions:MBPS was found to be a novel predictor of worsening HF in patients with HFrEF.
