Longitudinal quantitative assessment of coronary atherosclerosis related to normal systolic blood pressure maintenance in the absence of established cardiovascular disease
Background Atherosclerosis‐related adverse events are commonly observed even in conditions with low cardiovascular (CV) risk. Longitudinal data regarding the association of normal systolic blood pressure maintenance (SBPmaintain) with coronary plaque volume changes (PVC) has been limited in adults w...

Summary: | Background
Atherosclerosis‐related adverse events are commonly observed even in conditions with low cardiovascular (CV) risk. Longitudinal data regarding the association of normal systolic blood pressure maintenance (SBPmaintain) with coronary plaque volume changes (PVC) has been limited in adults without traditional CV disease.
Hypothesis
Normal SBPmaintain is important to attenuate coronary atherosclerosis progression in adults without baseline CV disease.
Methods
We analyzed 95 adults (56.7 ± 8.5 years; 40.0% men) without baseline CV disease who underwent serial coronary computed tomographic angiography with mean 3.5 years of follow‐up. All participants were divided into two groups of normal SBPmaintain (follow‐up SBP |
