Trials in isolated systolic hypertension: An update
Current Cardiology Reports, 2003 Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) has proved to be a powerful predisposing factor for cardiovascular diseases in the elderly. Recent placebo-controlled interventional trials such as the Systolic Hypertension in the Elderly Program (SHEP), the Systolic Hypertension in Europe (Syst-Eur), and the Systolic Hypertension in China (Syst-China) showed that ...

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 ...

Hypertension, 2005 Isolated systolic hypertension is a common condition in individuals aged older than 60 years. However, isolated systolic hypertension has also been described in young individuals, although the mechanisms are poorly understood.

Isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly
Journal of Hypertension, 1990Isolated 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 ...

Isolated systolic hypertension in the elderly
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2002Isolated 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).

Managing Isolated Systolic Hypertension
The American Journal of Nursing, 1993Betty Allen, age 72, is admitted to your med-surg unit with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Luckily, she'd been in good health and had taken no regular medication. Her pneumonia responded to antibiotic treatment. But her vital signs have shown systolic blood pressures consistently in the 180s and diastolic pressures in the 70s.

Management of Isolated Systolic Hypertension
Drugs, 1996Isolated 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.

Underdiagnosis of Isolated Systolic and Isolated Diastolic Hypertension
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2021Systolic and diastolic hypertension independently predict the risk of adverse cardiovascular events. It remains unclear how systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and other patient characteristics influence the initial diagnosis of hypertension. Here, we use a cohort of 146,816 adults in a large healthcare system to examine how elevated systolic and/or

Isolated systolic hypertension
Journal of Hypertension, 2004The prevalence of essential hypertension is very high in Western Countries and isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the peculiar form of older patients. ISH was considered a physiological condition until the '80s and it was recognised as a real disease only in the '90s, when the efficacy of pharmacological treatments in terms of cardiovascular ...

Treatment of isolated systolic hypertension
Current Hypertension Reports, 2006Isolated 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 ...
