Pulse Pressure and Isolated Diastolic Hypertension

To the Editor Dr McEvoy and colleagues performed cross-sectional analyses of several large databases to investigate clinical outcomes related to isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) based on the 2017 hypertension guidelines of a diastolic blood pressure of 80 mm Hg or greater. They found no associations and implied that clinicians need not be clinically concerned by IDH. I disagree.
