Perspectives on systolic hypertension. The Framingham study.
Diastolic hypertension has been widely and justifiably accepted as a cause of cardiovascular mortality. However, it has also been accepted that the cardiovascular sequelae of hypertension derive chiefly from the diastolic component. Because systolic and diastolic pressure are usually highly correlated it is not easy to dissociate the effects of each. Statistical analysis suggests that systolic ...
متن کاملPredictors of new-onset diastolic and systolic hypertension: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Factors leading differentially to the development of isolated diastolic (IDH), systolic-diastolic (SDH), and isolated systolic (ISH) hypertension are poorly understood. We examined the relations of blood pressure (BP) and clinical risk factors to the new onset of the 3 forms of hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants in the Framingham Heart Study were included if they had un...
متن کاملPerspectives on isolated systolic hypertension in elderly patients.
Until the mid-20th century, clinicians' concern was directed mainly to the systolic component of blood pressure. Later, however, when systolic blood pressure was found to be elevated with advancing age and decreased compliance of the arterial wall, it began to be considered an inevitable consequence of aging. Based on this belief, physicians often concluded that only the diastolic blood pressur...
متن کاملIncidence of Hypertension The Framingham Heart Study
Background Left ventricular hypertrophy is often found very early in the course of hypertension. It is not known whether increased left ventricular mass contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of left ventricular mass and other echocardiographically assessed cardiac structural features on the incidence of hypertension. Methods and Res...
متن کاملHypertension, antihypertensive treatment, and sudden coronary death. The Framingham Study.
During 30 years of follow-up, there were 183 sudden deaths in men and 77 in women ages 35 to 94 years who participated in the Framingham Study. Risk of sudden death was increased threefold in hypertensive persons but only if there was no previously diagnosed coronary heart disease. Men receiving antihypertensive treatment had more than twice the risk of sudden death compared with those who were...
