Increased stroke volume and aortic stiffness contribute to isolated systolic hypertension in young adults.
Isolated systolic hypertension is a common condition in individuals aged older than 60 years. However, isolated systolic hypertension has also been described in young individuals, although the mechanisms are poorly understood. We hypothesized that in young adults, isolated systolic hypertension and essential hypertension have different hemodynamic mechanisms and the aim of this study was to tes...
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 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...
متن کاملIsolated Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly.
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is a very common condition in the elderly, even more than diastolic hypertension. Several studies indicate that ISH is a considerable cardiovascular risk factor in the elderly but the benefit of antihypertensive treatment has not been proved. Data in the literature on prevalence, pathophysiology, prognostic meaning and treatment of ISH are critically reviewed.
متن کاملArterial 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...
