Gender differences in the accuracy of time-dependent blood pressure indices for predicting coronary heart disease: A random-effects modeling approach

Abstract: Background-Previous studies on blood pressure (BP) indices as predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD) have provided equivocal results and generally relied upon Cox Proportional Hazards regression methodology with age and gender accounting for most of the predictive capability of the model.

“…The results from this study showed that individuals with MAP ≥103 mm Hg were 1.19-fold chance to develop CHD than those with MAP <84 mm Hg, after adjusting for confounding factors. Our finding of a significantly positive relationship of high MAP with the risk of CHD was consistent with a previous studies 26 27. Besides, this relationship was confirmed in cohort studies from the USA and Swedish 5 7.…”

“…While a variety of approaches, including imaging, mechanical and bio-electrical techniques have been used [ 8 10 ], developing blood based methods has its advantages because of the 1) proof-of-principal provided by prior work with triglycerides and cholesterol, 2) clear involvement of blood components such as platelets and white blood cells in CHD pathogenesis and 3) the ease of integrating blood based approaches into current medical diagnostics.…”
