Abstract
Pulse pressure (PP), the difference between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), arises due to pulsatile ejection of blood from the left ventricle. Previous observational studies have identified an inverse association of PP with aortic diameter1, and positive associations of PP with aortic wall stiffness and thickness2. However, it is not known whether these associations reflect a causal effect of PP on the risk of AAA, an effect of the aorta on PP, a shared etiology, or confounding from environmental factors.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
