Objectives We hypothesized that one minus the slope of diastolic on systolic blood pressure in individual 24-h ambulatory blood pressure recordings (ambulatory arterial stiffness index) might reflect arterial stiffness and predict cardiovascular mortality.Methods In volunteers and a population recruited in China, we studied concordance between ambulatory arterial stiffness index and established indexes of arterial stiffness. We assessed the predictive value of ambulatory arterial stiffness index in relation to cardiovascular outcome in Irish hypertensive patients.Results In 166 healthy volunteers, aged 22-83 years, the correlation coefficient between ambulatory arterial stiffness index and pulse wave velocity was 0.51 (P
