Management of Isolated Systolic Hypertension

Drugs, 1996
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) [systolic blood pressure (SBP) > or = l60mm Hg with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) or = 160mm Hg. As in essential hypertension, the maximum benefit is gained by aggressive treatment of those individuals at highest risk because of coexisting cardiovascular risk factors.

Relationship between office isolated systolic or diastolic hypertension and white-coat hypertension across the age spectrum: a home blood pressure study.

Journal of Hypertension, 2019
OBJECTIVE The current study investigated the prevalence of white-coat hypertension (WCH) and white-coat uncontrolled hypertension (WUCH) throughout the age spectrum among individuals with office isolated systolic hypertension (ISH), isolated diastolic ...

Isolated Systolic Hypertension

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1994
UNTIL RECENTLY, whenever I lectured on hypertension I could expect to be frustrated by my inability to answer questions about isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) with authority derived from a scientific database. Indeed, it is not that many years ago that systolic blood pressure was considered to be normal if it were less than the patient's age plus ...

Isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2002
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the predominant form of hypertension in persons older than 50 years, who represent the majority of individuals with hypertension. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) determines Joint National Committee blood pressure stage, and therefore the need for therapy, far more often than diastolic blood pressure (DBP).

Clinical trials in isolated systolic hypertension

Current Hypertension Reports, 1999
Isolated systolic hypertension affects 8% to 15% of all people older than 60 years of age. In the elderly, systolic hypertension is the major modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. Three placebo-controlled outcome trials on antihypertensive drug treatment of this disorder have been published.

Isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly

Journal of Hypertension, 1990
Isolated systolic hypertension affects between 10 and 20% of the elderly. The growing awareness among physicians and patients that systolic hypertension carries a risk, which is greater in the elderly than that of diastolic blood pressure elevation, has sparked many questions on the prevalence, pathophysiology and treatment of isolated systolic ...

Treatment of isolated systolic hypertension

Current Hypertension Reports, 2006
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the dominant form of hypertension in the elderly. It is associated with increased arterial pulse pressure, to which an early-returning and magnified pulse-wave reflection makes an important contribution. Treatment of ISH with diuretics, calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and angiotensin II inhibitors is effective ...

[Systolic-diastolic arterial hypertension versus isolated systolic hypertension].

Italian heart journal : official journal of the Italian Federation of Cardiology, 2000
The presence of elevated values of both diastolic and systolic arterial blood pressure is one of the most important risk factors for coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure; in patients with hypertension, the pharmacological reduction of blood pressure decreases the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, though the optimal blood pressure goal

Controlling isolated systolic hypertension

Postgraduate Medicine, 1999
Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the most common form of hypertension in the elderly. It is an even better predictor of morbidity and mortality than is diastolic blood pressure. Several large trials have documented a clear benefit to treating ISH.
