Po-27 Higher Central Augmentation Pressure/index Is Associated With Tension-type Headache but Not Migraine in Middle-aged/older Obese Humans

Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: Results: (See table) There were significant sex differences in brachial SBP, brachial DBP, aortic DBP and aortic MAP with higher values in males.(p<0.05).However, there were no statistically significant sex differences in wave separation variables or aortic SBP during acute inflammation, but acute inflammation decrease brachial DBP, aortic SBP, and aortic MAP in all subjects combined, and reflected pulse pressure approached a decline in the entire cohort (pZ0.06). Conclusions:The results suggest that blood pressure, forward and reflected pulse wave pressure exhibited similar responses in males and females during acute inflammation.
