AORTIC DISTENSIBILITY IN NORMOTENSIVE UNTREATED AND TREATED HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS American Journal of Hypertension Volume 8 Issue 4 Pt 2 April 1995 Page 118A https//doiorg/101016/0895706195978085Compared to normotensive subjects untreated hypertensive patients show a decrease of their aortic distensibility Whether antihypertensive treatment may prevent or reverse the arterial damages remains unclear The objective of this study is to determine whether aortic distensibility in hypertensive treated patients whose diastolic blood pressure BP has been normalized for several months is significantly improvedThere was a significant relationships between age and aortic distensibility in each group When compared to untreated hypertensives well controlled treated had significantly lower BP and pulse wave velocity according to age However although diastolic
