- Pulse pressure = Systolic blood pressure - Diastolic blood pressure( PP= SBP-DBP)
- It indicates pulse volume
- Average PP is 30- 40 mmhg
- Proportional Pulse Pressure = Pulse pressure / Systolic blood pressure(PPP= PP/SBP)
- It is an indicator of LV function
- If PPP < = 25% , indicates LVF and Cardiac index <= 2.2 l/min/m2
