Arterial stiffness, as evidenced by increased pulse pressure (PP), is associated with adverse cardiovascular events. However, the prognostic importance of PP in patients who have undergone revascularization is unknown. We examined the prognostic importance of PP and predictors of increased PP in patients entered into the Balloon Angioplasty Revascularization Investigation (BARI). Estimated correlation and standardized regression coefficients were reported, indicating the relative magnitude of independent effects of baseline characteristics on PP. The independent association of PP and outcome over 5 years was determined. Baseline characteristics independently associated with PP were higher mean arterial pressure, older age, female sex, noncoronary vascular disease, history of diabetes mellitus, and history of hypertension (p <0.001 for all). Cox regression covariates significantly associated with time to death were age, smoking, male gender, diabetes history, congestive heart failure, and baseline use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, diuretic, or digitalis. When PP was added to the model, it was found to be an independent predictor of time to death (p = 0.008). When PP and mean arterial pressure were added to the model, PP remained significantly associated with time to death (p = 0.033). When renal disease and noncoronary vascular disease were added to the model, the relative risk declined from 1.07 to 1.04 and the association was no longer statistically significant. Thus, increased PP is directly and independently associated with mean arterial pressure, hypertension, age > or =65 years, diabetes mellitus, and the presence of noncoronary vascular disease, and inversely associated with a history of myocardial infarction. After coronary revascularization, PP, reflecting arterial stiffness, is independently associated with total mortality.
