Vascular smooth muscle migration is a risk factor for developing atherosclerosis, a major cause of morbidity and mortality. A cohort study carried out over 25 years in seven countries revealed that pulse pressure, diastolic and systolic pressures are the best predictors of cardiovascular disease death.1 In this issue of Cardiovascular Research, Tada et al. (Shimokawa's group) describe a novel method using a
