To the Editor:Using 4.7 years of follow-up data on 2311 Western, hypertensive subjects, Verdecchia and colleagues1 reported that 24-hour ambulatory mean blood pressure (BP), not pulse pressure (PP), was an independent predictor of stroke risk. Because the association between BP and stroke risk has been reported to be much steeper in Eastern populations than in Western populations,2 the prognostic impact of 24-hour mean BP and PP on stroke could be different between these populations. Therefore, we investigated the association between 24-hour mean BP and PP and stroke using data …
