Abstract
Objective: Pulse pressure (PP) is a significant marker of cardiovascular morbidity.We investigated the relation between aortic PP and the presence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography (CAG).Patients and Method: The study group consisted of 550 patients (363 men, 187 women).We evaluated patients in two different groups, PP < 60 mmHg and ≥ 60 mmHg. Results: In univariate analysis gender and presence of hyperlipidemia showed no statistically significant differences between both groups. However, the ratio of patients having diabetes mellitus, hypertension or smoking were significantly higher in ≥ 60 mmHg PP group. The mean age was 55.2 ±11.9 in < 60 mmHg PP group and 61.3±9.3 in the other group (p
