SAN DIEGO — Increasing the mean arterial pressure target to 75 mmHg lowered the odds of 28-day mortality by 85%, and also reduced the odds of acute kidney injury nonrecovery, in decompensated ...

Pulse pressure is a marker of stiffness within the body's arteries. A high or wide pulse pressure signifies increased stiffness, which occurs naturally with age and diseases like atherosclerosis ...

The interaction between higher mean blood pressure and higher variability in blood pressure was associated with faster changes in annual deviation in both mean arterial (β, 0.02 dB/y per 1-mm Hg ...

Greater standard deviation of mean arterial pressure (B = –0.22 dB/y per 1-mm Hg higher; P = .001) and DAP (B = –0.16 dB/y per 1-mm Hg higher; P = .001) were associated with faster visual ...

A wide pulse pressure occurs when your pulse pressure is more than 60 mmHg. For example, a blood pressure reading of 145/80 mmHg (or, a pulse pressure of 65) can indicate a wide pulse pressure.

In a double-blind, randomized trial with a 2-by-2 factorial design, we evaluated a mean arterial blood-pressure target of 63 mm Hg as compared with 77 mm Hg in comatose adults who had been ...
