Arterial compliance abnormalities in isolated systolic hypertension.
Arterial compliance measurements using intraarterial pulse contour analysis and a modified Windkessel model were carried out in 19 patients with isolated systolic hypertension (> or = 160/< or = 90 mm Hg) and compared to measurements in 29 patients with essential hypertension (diastolic blood pressure [BP] > or = 95 mm Hg) and 47 normotensive control subjects. Arterial capacitive compliance was...
متن کاملIsolated systolIc hypertensIon
Until the 1980’s the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was assumed to be the most relevant hemodynamic parameter for prognosis of hypertensive patients. Elevated systolic pressure was considered as an inevitable consequence of aging and many physicians were reluctant to pay credence to the need for therapy of elevated systolic blood pressure. There was a radical change in thinking based on epidemi...
متن کاملAerobic exercise training does not modify large-artery compliance in isolated systolic hypertension.
The present study characterized large-artery properties in patients with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and determined the efficacy of exercise training in modifying these properties. Twenty patients (10 male and 10 female) with stage I ISH and 20 age- and gender-matched control subjects were recruited, and large-artery properties were assessed noninvasively. Ten ISH patients (5 male and ...
متن کاملAge-related abnormalities in arterial compliance identified by pressure pulse contour analysis: aging and arterial compliance.
The objective of this study was to evaluate age-related changes in pulsatile arterial function. Aging alters arterial pulsatile function and produces consistent changes in the pressure pulse contour. A reduced systemic arterial compliance that can be derived from analysis of the pulse contour is regarded as the best clinical index of impaired pulsatile arterial function and may mark the presenc...
متن کاملIsolated Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly
Copyright © 2007 Massachusetts Medical Society. A 68-year-old accountant visits his physician. He was told a year earlier that his blood pressure was somewhat elevated and was advised to reduce salt intake and increase physical activity. Otherwise he has been in good health and has no history or signs of cardiovascular or renal disease. On physical examination, his blood pressure is 178/72 mm H...
