Arterial 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...
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 کاملLEFT VENTRICULAR DIASTOLIC ABNORMALITIES IN β-THALASSEMIA MAJOR WITH NORMAL SYSTOLIC FUNCTION
In order to identify left ventricular diastolic function in patients with betathalassemia major and normal systolic function by noninvasive M-mode and Doppler echocardiography, an analytic study was designed in a university hospital in Sari. We have studied 44 patients (23 men and 21 women), mean age 15.48±2.16 (range 12 to 20) and 43 age and sex matched control subjects. Peak flow velocit...
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...
