Systolic-Predominant Hypertension and the Aging Heart: A Cross-Sectional Study on LVH and Cardiovascular Riskss
Abstract: Background: Systolic-predominant hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure ≥140 mm Hg with diastolic pressure <90 mm Hg, is the most prevalent form of hypertension in the elderly. It arises primarily due to age-related arterial stiffening and baroreceptor dysfunction. Once considered a benign outcome of aging, systolic-predominant hypertension is now recognized as a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Aim and Objective: To evaluate the cardiac status and …
