Values of arterial blood pressure in patient with hypertension of high and very high cardiovascular risk
Abstract
It is possible to prevent serious complications by treatment of hypertension, the improtance of the treatment increases with cardiovascular risk of patients. The target casual blood pressure of patients suffering from high and very high cardiovascular risk is the value 130/80 mmHg, this value would correspond to the value 120 mmHg of the average blood pressure at the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Authors statistically tested retrospectively obtained data of group of 137 patients, 68 men and 69 women, with hypertension of high and very high cariovascular risk, who were examined by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. 58 patients, 29 men and 29 women, with hypertension from the group suffered from diabetes mellitus. 12 patients with hypertension from the group suffered from chronic kidney failure. The value of systolic blood pressure was significantly higher than 120 mmHg within the group, it was also significantly higher than 130 mmHg, except of women and patients without diabetes mellitus.
The value of diastolic blood pressure was significantly higher than 70 mmHg in the group, except women, the value of diastolic pressure was not significantly higher than 80 mmHg neither in the whole group nor in subgroups. The value of systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in the group of patients with chronic kidney failure than in the group of other patients.
The study confirms that hypertension of risk patients is compensated unsatisfactorily.
