Isolated 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 کاملAortic diameter, aortic stiffness, and wave reflection increase with age and isolated systolic hypertension.
The October 2004 High Blood Pressure Research Council meeting of the American Heart Association included a debate on the proposition that “aortic diameter, aortic stiffness, and wave reflection all increase with age and in isolated systolic hypertension.” This was stimulated by a series of articles1–5 that took a contrary position to change in aortic diameter and wave reflection and placed emph...
متن کاملAortic calcification is associated with aortic stiffness and isolated systolic hypertension in healthy individuals.
Arterial stiffening is an independent predictor of mortality and underlies the development of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). A number of factors regulate stiffness, but arterial calcification is also likely to be important. We tested the hypotheses that aortic calcification is associated with aortic stiffness in healthy individuals and that patients with ISH exhibit exaggerated aortic ca...

متن کاملChronic Aortic Regurgitation and Normal Left Ventricular Systolic Function
Background. Many asymptomatic patients with aortic regurgitation and normal left ventricular systolic function remain clinically stable for many years, but others ultimately develop symptoms or left ventricular dysfunction and require operation. To identify indexes of left ventricular function predictive of symptomatic and functional deterioration during the long-term course of asymptomatic pat...
