The purpose of the present study was to examine patterns of systolic and diastolic hypertension by age in the nationally representative National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III and to determine when treatment and control efforts should be recommended. Percentage distribution of 3 blood pressure subtypes (isolated systolic hypertension, combined systolic/diastolic hypertensi...

LVDD as an early measure of myocardial end-organ damage is commonly associated with hypertension and may well precede development of LVH in hypertension. About half of the patients presenting with heart failure have a normal ejection fraction, a clinical syndrome that is commonly referred to as HFPEF or diastolic heart failure and is commonly associated with impaired LV relaxation and increased...

Background: Elevation in PA pressures has been observed by 2D echo in some but not all hypertensive patients. The mechanism and hemodynamic impact of pulmonary hypertension in these patients remains unclear. Methods: We reviewed echoes of all patients referred with systemic hypertension between 9/2006 to 5/2009 to identify those patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, normal systolic functi...

This article discusses the factors that contribute most to systolic and diastolic heart failure (HF): ischemic heart disease, hypertension,obesity, diabetes, and nephropathy. Diabetes often follows the insulin resistance syndrome in which obesity and hypertension are combined with dyslipidemia, and obesity is likely causal. Diabetes and hypertension are common causes of nephropathy, which in tu...

The present study was undertaken to predict the persons prone to suffer from early onset of hypertension. Healthy sedentary volunteers (age 18-25 years) having normal blood pressure were asked about their history of familial hypertension, smoking-habit, alcohol consumption, existing worries/anxieties; these being the predisposing factors of hypertension. The blood pressure of them was recorded ...

Measurement of casual and near basal systolic and diastolic blood pressures were correlated with the severity of cardiorenal manifestations of hypertension in 471 patients. There was a significant association of each of the four blood pressure measurements with each other (P < 0.001). Systolic blood pressure and mamfestations of hypertension increased with age. Blacks had higher blood pressures...

in a study on 685 healthy women who have been using birth control pills for a period of about 27 months, the following results were found: 1.blood pressure has been increased with a rate of 1.416%. 2. the increase in arterial wood pressure is on both the systolic and diastolic blood pressures. 3. it seems that hypertension results from the estrogen which is present in the pills. 4. this hyperte...
