Reduction of arterial compliance leads to a higher systolic (SBP) and a lower diastolic blood pressure (DBP). The increasing occurrence of reduced arterial compliance is responsible for the steep increase in SBP after the age of 50 years and also for the constancy and later decline in DBP. Reduced arterial compliance will blur the relationship between mean arterial pressure and DBP. This may change the relationships between cardiovascular events and DBP. The possibility of non-causal co-existence of reduced compliance and atherosclerosis is discussed. Such a co-existence would markedly influence the relationship between cardiovascular events and DBP. Finally, the influence that reduced compliance might have on the shape of the relation between cardiovascular episodes and diastolic and systolic blood pressure is discussed.
动脉顺应性降低会导致收缩压（SBP）升高和舒张压（DBP）降低。动脉顺应性降低发生率的增加是50岁后收缩压急剧上升的原因，也是舒张压保持稳定及随后下降的原因。动脉顺应性降低会模糊平均动脉压与舒张压之间的关系。这可能会改变心血管事件与舒张压之间的关系。文中讨论了顺应性降低与动脉粥样硬化非因果共存的可能性。这种共存会显著影响心血管事件与舒张压之间的关系。最后，文中讨论了顺应性降低可能对心血管事件与舒张压和收缩压之间关系的形态产生的影响。
