fractional pulse pressure(English)

• calculated as (SBP-DBP) / MAP; this ratio is significantly correlated to aortic stiffness indices in asymptomatic diabetic patients. Likewise, increased PPf is associated with impaired CFR and subclinical diastolic dysfunction in diabetic patients. PPf could be utilized as a simple non-invasive predictor of occult atherosclerosis and diastolic dysfunction in diabetic patients
