... Aortic mechanical properties were assessed in a group of elderly subjects with untreated isolated systolic hypertension using two-dimensional echocardiography. Echocardiographic (two-dimensional and Doppler) assessment of left ventricular structure and function was also made. Ten subjects (mean age 71.7...

...European Society of Cardiology Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is the predominant form of hypertension in the elderly. The pathophysiology includes a plethora of factors; however, the stiffening of large arteries, leading to wider pulse pressure and faster propagation of the pressure pulse...
