Abstract
The 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guideline lowered the threshold (systolic blood pressure [SBP] <130 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure [DBP] ≥80 mm Hg) for isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH), whereas the 2018 Chinese guideline still recommends the old threshold (SBP <140 mm Hg and DBP ≥90 mm Hg). This study aimed to investigate the association between IDH, as defined by both guidelines, and the risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) in rural areas of northeast China. This prospective study included participants whose baseline data were collected between 2004 and 2006. The exclusion criteria were baseline CVD, incomplete data, and systolic hypertension. The primary end point was incident CVD, a composite end point including nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), nonfatal stroke, and CVD death. Multivariate Cox models were used to evaluate the association of IDH with CVD risk. The authors analyzed 19 688 participants (7140 participants with IDH) according to the ACC/AHA guideline. Compared with normotensive participants, individuals with ACC/AHA-defined IDH were at a high risk of CVD (HR = 1.177, 95% CI: 1.035-1.339). A similar difference in CVD risk was noted when normotensive participants were compared with those with IDH, determined based on the 2018 Chinese guideline (HR = 1.218, 95% CI: 1.050-1.413). Similar results were found in participants who did not take antihypertensives at baseline. Moreover, IDH defined by either guideline was significantly associated with nonfatal MI. ACC/AHA-defined IDH was associated with a risk of CVD, implying that blood pressure management should be improved in rural areas of China.Entities:
