Hypertension, Systolic Blood Pressure, and Large Arteries

This article discusses the following: (1) factors modulating central and peripheral SBP and PP in hypertensive subjects; (2) mechanisms enhancing PP variations in this population; (3) Analysis of pulsatile arterial hemodynamics as predictors of CV risk; and (4) Pulsatile hemodynamics and strategies lowering CV risk in the treatment of hypertension.
