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 کاملIs it only diastolic dysfunction? Segmental relaxation patterns and longitudinal systolic deformation in systemic hypertension.
AIMS To investigate changes in longitudinal systolic function estimated by strain echocardiography in relation to global diastolic dysfunction and alterations in segmental relaxation patterns. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 75 hypertensive patients, of whom 45 had diastolic dysfunction and normal EF, and 30 matched controls. All subjects had 2D and colour Doppler myocardial imaging. Mean long...
متن کاملRecognition of systolic hypertension for hypertension.
Recently, much concern has been raised by the National High Blood Pressure Education Program (NHBPEP) about the need for a fresh focus on the recognition of hypertension and the need to revitalize hypertension control efforts. Clearly, there has been a relaxation in the intensity and vigor for the identification of new patients with hypertension, for the necessity to maintain antihypertensive t...
متن کاملSystolic 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 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...
