Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly
Isolated systolic hypertension (systolic blood pressure of 160 mm Hg or greater, diastolic blood pressure less than 90) was investigated in the Leisure World population at Seal Beach, California. The prevalence of this condition was 13.9% if the blood pressure at the initial examination was used but dropped to 2.7% if the subsequent two determinations of blood pressure were also reviewed. Seven...
متن کاملAn Uncommon Cause of Neonatal Hypertension
Background: Adrenal hematoma is a very rare acquired cause of neonatal hypertension. In this study, we report a case of neonatal hypertension associated with adrenal hematoma. A male neonate was immediately transferred to our neonatal intensive care unit after delivery due to meconium aspiration. He needed to be on mechanical ventilation support. During his hospital stay, hospital records showe...
متن کاملC-reactive protein causes downregulation of vascular angiotensin subtype 2 receptors and systolic hypertension in mice.
BACKGROUND Chronic elevations in circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) are associated with a greater risk of hypertension. Whether elevations in CRP cause hypertension is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Chronic, conscious blood pressure (BP) measurements were performed by radiotelemetry in wild-type CF1 control and CF1 transgenic mice expressing rabbit CRP (CF1-CRP) under the regulation of the ph...
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 کاملCentral Systolic Hypertension in Patients with Well-Controlled Hypertension
Background. Central systolic blood pressure (CSBP) has prognostic significance and simplified devices for its estimation have been introduced recently. The aim of this study was to assess the achievement of the target CSBP in treated hypertensive patients. Subjects and Methods. One hundred patients with well-controlled hypertension were analysed. For CSBP estimation, we used the Arteriograph (T...
