Blood pressure control in the hypertension clinic.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Noninvasive applanation tonometry (APT) is useful to assess aortic stiffness and pulse wave reflection. Moreover, APT can predict outcome in many conditions such as arterial hypertension. In this study, we test whether APT measurements relate to progression of aortic disease in Marfan syndrome (MFS). METHOD...
