Cumulative blood pressure predicts risk of cardiovascular outcomes in middle-aged and older population

Long-term cSBP, cDBP and cMAP were associated with subsequent CVD and only found in people younger than 60 years of age, whereas cPP was associated with stroke only across all ages. Cumulative BP may provide a better prediction of cardiovascular outcomes compared with single BP measurement. Efforts are required to control long-term BP in assessing cardiovascular risks.
