Background-The aim of the present study was to determine the respective influences of local pulse pressure and mean blood pressure on arterial remodeling in humans at 2 arterial sites: a central, predominantly elastic artery (the common carotid artery) and a peripheral muscular artery (the radial artery).Methods and Results-Forty-three healthy subjects and 124 never-treated hypertensive patients were included in the study. Intima-media thickness and internal diameter of the carotid and radial arteries were noninvasively determined with high-definition echo-tracking devices. Pulse pressure was measured locally with applanation tonometry. Multivariate regression models including mean blood pressure and local pulse pressure were established in the whole population. Carotid internal diameter and intima-media thickness were strongly influenced (P
