In 22 elderly normotensive and 22 elderly untreated essential hypertensive subjects, we measured left ventricular mass, diastolic compliance, and carotid artery wall thickness and stiffness by ultrasonographic techniques. The results show that in the elderly, the presence of high blood pressure enhances the cardiovascular functional and structural alterations.

Abstract

In 22 elderly normotensive and 22 elderly untreated essential hypertensive subjects, we measured left ventricular mass, diastolic compliance, and carotid artery wall thickness and stiffness by ultrasonographic techniques. The results show that in the elderly, the presence of high blood pressure enhances the cardiovascular functional and structural alterations.
