Text: In a multivariate analysis, pulse pressure remained a significant predictor of total mortality (relative risk, 1. 08 per 10 mm Hg increment in pulse pressure ; 95 % CI, 1. 00 to 1. 17 ; P <. 05) and recurrent myocardial infarction (relative risk, 1. 12 ; 95 % CI, 1. 01 to 1. 23 ; P <. 05) after control for age ; left ventricular ejection fraction ; mean arterial pressure ; sex ; treatment arm (captopril or placebo) ; smoking history ; history of prior myocardial infarction, diabetes, or hypertension ; and treatment with beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, digoxin, aspirin, or thrombolytic therapy.
