The incidence of hypertension is high in the elderly and is present in 2/3 of the patients older than 65 years. Prevalence can reach 90% in patients older than 80 years. The presence of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is characteristic of this population. However, the prevalence of hypertension by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is not well known. In this study, we analyzed the special characteristics of hypertension in this population, giving special emphasis on ABPM readings.
高血压在老年人中的发病率很高,65岁以上患者中有三分之二患有高血压。80岁以上患者的患病率可达90%。单纯收缩期高血压(ISH)是该人群的特征。然而,通过动态血压监测(ABPM)得出的高血压患病率尚不清楚。在本研究中,我们分析了该人群高血压的特殊特征,特别强调了ABPM读数。
