hampered by the close correlation between pulse pressure and systolic blood pressure.SUMMARYEpidemiological and treatment studies suggest that systolic blood pressure should be the primary target of antihypertensive therapy, although consideration of systolic and diastolic press...
At a median of 5.5 years of follow-up, values of LVEF, longitudinal strain, and circumferential strain below these thresholds were each associated with incident HF and HF with reduced ejection fraction independent of clinical comorbidities, diastolic function, and each other. Meaning Current routine ...
SHEP, a study of 4736 persons with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), defined as systolic BP (SBP) ≥160 mm Hg and diastolic BP (DBP) <90 mm Hg, took place between March 1, 1984, and January 15, 1991. Men and women with baseline SBP between 160 mm Hg and 219 mm Hg and DBP ...
