1. 1. Systolic and diastolic pressures are positively and significantly correlated with the degree of coronary sclerosis and the degree of cerebral sclerosis. 2. 2. The strength of the relationship of blood pressure to the degree of atherosclerosis is much greater for the cerebral arterial bed than for the coronary arterial bed. 3. 3. The strength of the relationship of blood pressure to the degree of atherosclerosis is greater for proximal coronary artery branches than for distal branches. 4. 4. The strength of the correlations observed both for cerebral and coronary vessels with blood pressure are less for subjects in the seventyto eighty-nine-year age group than for those in the sixty- to sixty-nine-year age group. 5. 5. Reasonable explanations can be proposed to explain, at least in part, the observations of (2) and (3), based upon known physiologic data or other information concerning quantitative atherogenesis. The absence of serial measurements of blood pressure precludes the testing of certain speculations to explain the change in correlation strength with age. |
