Microalbuminuria is determined by systolic and pulse pressure over a 12-year period and related to peripheral artery disease in normotensive and hypertensive subjects: the Three Areas Study in Greece (TAS-GR).

Microalbuminuria and peripheral artery disease represent 2 different forms of target organ damage due to raised blood pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between blood pressure with microalbuminuria and the appearance of peripheral artery disease after more than a decade, and moreover, to address whether any relationship exists between microalbuminuria and peripheral disease in a Greek Caucasian population. In 1990, 635 normal subjects were examined and their blood pressure was recorded.
