Association of blood pressure indices and stroke mortality in isolated systolic hypertension.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), systolic blood pressure (BP) > or =160 mm Hg and diastolic BP (DBP) <90 mm Hg, is associated with stroke; however, the correlation between specific BP indices and stroke mortality in ISH is not defined. METHODS In a pooled analysis of 9 epidemiological studies, we examined whether pulse pressure (PP) was more predictive of stroke mo...
متن کاملSystolic blood pressure and mortality.
BACKGROUND The current systolic blood-pressure threshold for hypertension treatment is 140 mm Hg for all adults. WHO and the International Society of Hypertension have proposed that normal pressure be lower than 130 mm Hg, with an optimum pressure of less than 120 mm Hg. These recommendations are based largely on the assumption that cardiovascular and overall mortality depend in a strictly incr...
متن کاملTarget blood pressure for treatment of isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly: valsartan in elderly isolated systolic hypertension study.
In this prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end point study, we aimed to establish whether strict blood pressure control (<140 mm Hg) is superior to moderate blood pressure control (> or =140 mm Hg to <150 mm Hg) in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension. We divided 3260 patients aged 70 to 84 years with isolated systolic...
متن کاملDoes isolated systolic hypertension occur with ambulatory blood pressure measurement?
Ofice and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements in 815 healthy subjects, who were employees of the Allied Irish Bank [3], were taken as reference values. Data on 318 patients, referred to the Blood Pressure Unit at Beaumont Hospital and diagnosed as having isolated systolic hypertension (clinic systolic pressure equal to or greater than 160 mmHg and diastolic pressure equal to or less tha...
