Abstract P400: Relative Contributions of Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure to Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in an Outpatient Cohort of 1.3 Million Adults [Session Title: Epidemiology]

We examined the impact of systolic and diastolic pressures in multivariable survival analysis controlling for age, sex, race, and comorbidities using two different approaches. We first used the burden of systolic (SBP>=140) and diastolic (DBP>=90) hypertension as predictors. Both systolic burden (hazard ratio [HR] 1.17 for z-score, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.18, P78). Again, both SBP (HR 1.39 for z-score, 95% CI 1.37 to 1.41, P
