To evaluate arteriosclerosis using pulse pressure/mean artery pressure ratio / 中国基层医药

Objective To study the effect of pulse pressure(PP)/mean artery pressure(MAP) ratio in evaluating arteriosclerosis.Methods Blood pressures from 200 subjects without cerebrovascular nor cardiovascular disease were obtained and analyzed by different age groups.PP/MAP ratio was calculated for each patient and compared.Results PP/MAP ratio was significantly different in different age groups.Conclusion PP/MAP ratio has clinical significance in evaluating arteriosclerosis and is worthy of further investigation.
