Aspirin test for differentiation of unilateral renovascular hypertension from hyperreninemic essential hypertension.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Central blood pressure (BP) can be used to define hypertension. A central BP approach may be more sensitive than a conventional brachial BP approach in detecting hypertension. We aimed to compare the 2 approaches in estimating the prevalence hypertension in a nationally representative population. METHODS:A ...
