Elevated Interarm Systolic Blood Pressure Difference Is Positively Associated with Increased Likelihood of Coronary Artery Disease

Table 2

Relationship between the different IASBPD values and coronary artery disease using a multiple logistic regression model.

	OR (95% CI)	value
IASBPD ≥ 5 mmHg	1.635 (1.155–2.313)	0.006
IASBPD ≥ 10 mmHg	2.313 (1.086–4.509)	0.029
IASBPD ≥ 15 mmHg	3.563 (1.058–11.997)	0.040

Variables in the equation included age, sex, body mass index (BMI), hypertension, diabetes, smoking, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, antihypertension drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs. CI: confidence interval; IASBPD: interarm systolic blood pressure difference; OR: odds’ ratio.
