The clinical spectrum of essential hypertension.
The majority of hypertensive patients fall into the borderline and mild groups. A smaller percentage of the hypertensive population falls into the groups with persistent elevations in diastolic blood pressure of 105 mm Hg or higher. However, they are a most important group because treatment has been effective in reducing their high risk of developing major complications. In mild hypertension, t...
متن کاملPredictors of hypertension.
A good understanding of predictors of hypertension should allow the selection of populations with a sufficiently high incidence of later hypertension to warrant preventive use of antihypertensive drugs. Much more work on predictors of hypertension is needed, however, before it will be possible to select such a group. This is illustrated by the best-known and strongest predictor of future hypert...
متن کاملHemodynamic responses to tilt and beta-adrenergic blockade in young patients with borderline hypertension.
SUMMARY Seventeen young patients with b9rderline hypertension (one female) and 18 normo-tensive paid volunteers (two females) were studied at rest and in the tilted position after 10 min of 450 head-up tilt. Cardiac output, heart rate, and intra-arterial pressure were recorded. The measurements at rest and during the tilt were repeated after beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol. By compari...
متن کاملWhen and how far should we lower blood pressure?
The accuracy of the diagnosis of mild or borderline hypertension is dubious. Perhaps up to one-third of such patients are wrongly categorized when more accurate measures are taken, largely because of the "defense" reaction. The recent trials of mild hypertension are discussed. Patients with a diastolic blood pressure in the range of 95 to 100 mm Hg should only begin treatment after careful asse...
متن کاملPatterns of left ventricular adaptation in borderline and mild essential hypertension. Echocardiographic findings.
To assess patterns of left ventricular adaptation, 38 patients with borderline and 38 with sustained mild essential hypertension, all lacking electrocardiographic and roentgenographic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy, were compared using systemic hemodynamic values and M-mode echocardiograms. All patients had normal left ventricular function and measurements of wall thickness. Those wi...
