Abstract

Objective: To analyze the relationship between ambulatory pulse pressure, pulse pressure index, and coronary artery disease in patients with hypertension. Methods: From February 2018 to February 2019, a group of 100 patients with hypertension (control group) and a group of 100 patients with hypertension and coronary artery disease (experimental group) were selected to monitor and analyze dynamic pulse pressure and pulse pressure indicators. Results: In terms of clinical indicators, values of NPPI, 24hPP and 24hPPI in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group. P < 0.05 indicates that there is statistical value in the data difference. Conclusion: In the clinical diagnosis of hypertension patients, ambulatory pulse pressure, pulse pressure index are highly correlated with the risk of coronary artery disease. Therefore, researchers should actively pay attention to the relevant indicators of patients to lay a solid foundation for the effective protection of patients’ health.
