Title: The study of related factors of pulse pressure in elderly patients with essential hypertension
Abstract: Objective To expore the relationship between the related factors and pulse pressure (PP) of the elderly patients with essential hypertension (EH).Methods A retrospective investigation of 309 hospitalized patients with EH (male 185 cases, 124 cases of women) from 2003 to 2007 were performed, In accordance with PP≤ 60 mmHg, 60 PP≤100 mmHg,PP 100 mmHg,the patients were divided into 3 groups.In each group,the correlation of PP with sex,hypertension course, body mass index (BMI) , SBP,DBP, blood glucose, blood lipids, LVMI, EF, FS, carotid artery plaque were annalyzed.Results There was no correlation of PP with the BMI, blood glucose, triglyceride (TG) , cholesterol (TC) , low density lipoprotein (LDL) (P 0.05) ;There were positive correlations of PP with age, hypertension course, SBP, LVMI, carotid artery plaque, EF(r =0.25,0.23,0.48, 0.65,0.69, 0.31, P all 0.01) , while there was negative correlation of PP with DBP, FS, high-density lipoprotein ( HDL) (r = - 0.90, - 0.35, - 0.22 ,P all 0.01).Conclusion There is correlation of PP with age, duration of hypertension, SBP, DBP, EF,FS, HDL, LVMI, carotid artery plaque
