The aim of the study was to evaluate the echocardiographic abnormalities in elderly hypertensive patients. We investigated 110 hypertensive patients aged between 65 and 80 years and we compared them with 40 normotensive elderly patients. Results. Prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy was higher in hypertensive patients than in the controls, especially in those with long history of hypertension...
BackgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with systemic hypertension and preserved ejection fraction (PEF) has been described. However, the pathophysiology and consequences are not entirely clear. We sought to distinguish the clinical and anatomic features among hypertensive patients with or without coexistent PH.
MethodsEchocardiograms and records of hypertensive patients with left ventricular...
This article describes the objectives and protocol of the HAROLD study, a trial designed to assess whether home blood pressure (BP), 24-hour ambulatory BP, left ventricular structure and function, and albumin excretion rate are more accurate predictors of outcome than traditional sphygmomanometric BP in elderly subjects with borderline hypertension. Development of sustained hypertension (BP ≥160/95...
