Abstract:
Objective To find out the relationship between ambulatory pulse pressure (24 h PP) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and the enlarged diameter of aortic root (AOD) in aged pati ents with essential hypertension.Methods 118 aged patients with essential hypertension we r e examined by ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) and echocardiography,the different index of ABP and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and AOD were measured.The p atients were divided into group A (24 h PP≥60 mmHg) and group B (24 h PP
