Elevated neutrophil count, a marker of systemic inflammation, has been suggested as a prognostic marker of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with hypertension. We tested the hypothesis that an association exists between elevated neutrophil count and increased arterial stiffness, as reflected by a wide pulse pressure (PP), in this population of women. We also tested PP as predictor of cardiovascular adverse events in this population.
