Abstract:
Objective To study the association between blood pressure variability and left ventricular hypertrophy in elderly isolated systolic hypertension.Methods Active blood pressure was applied to measure average BP,24 hour daytime and night BP variability,meanwhile,left ventricular interior diameter,the thickness of interventricular septum and left ventricular posterior were taken using echocardiagram so as to measure left ventricular weight( LVW) and left ventricular weight index (LVMI) in 31 elderly isolated systolic hypertension and 24 controls.Results BP variability, LVM and LVMI in 31 cases were higher than that of 24 controls.Conclusion BP variability and average BP are related to LVH.
