The aim of the study was to analyse the course of isolated systolic hypertension in old age and its influence upon quoad vitam prognosis. A group of 100 persons over 60 was chosen and observed systematically for the period of 10 years in the geriatric out-patients centre. On the basis of pattern of arterial pressure in the 10-year-period the patients were qualified into several types of hypertension. Isolated systolic hypertension occurred mostly in the late old age over 70 and was characterized by irregular occurrence of periods of hypertension alternately with periods of normotension without any tendency to increase hypertension with the advance of old age. Cases of death caused directly by hypertension were found more frequently in the group with systolic-diastolic hypertension (56%) than in the group with isolated systolic hypertension (36%). |
