Characteristics of the patients referred to a Hypertension Unit between 1989 and 2003.

Abstract:

:The level of blood pressure, the type of antihypertensive treatment and the prevalence of resistant hypertension at the first examination were evaluated in 6254 patients referred to a hospital Hypertension Unit from 1989 to 2003. From 1989-1993 to 1999-2003, we observed a reduced prevalence of grade 2 and grade 3 hypertension, and an increase in the prevalence of grade 1 hypertension, the proportion of treated subjects, the average number of antihypertensive drugs per patient and the prevalence of resistant hypertension.

  • Physiopharmacological approach to mechanical factors of hypertension in the atherosclerotic process.

    abstract::Hypertension may influence the atherosclerotic process of large arteries via pressure and shear forces. The pressure force dilates and stiffens arteries because of the non-linear elastic behaviour of arterial walls. This partly explains the increased diameter and decreased compliance of the brachial artery in hyperten...
