Ambulatory Blood Pressure (BP) and Heart Rate (HR), Gender Differences in Cordoba, Argentina
Journal Title: Archives of Clinical Hypertension - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
BP is changing in the course of age, in both sexes, Systolic BP increases continuously and instead Diastolic BP only rises until age 50-60 years and then stabilizes or drops [1]. The % of hypertensive patients in Argentina is somewhat higher in men than in women at 60 years or so, and after that age, coinciding with menopause, begins to dominate the female, due to hormonal changes and weight gain [2,3]. The mechanisms mediating the more striking age related increase in cardiovascular disease in women than in men are poorly understood, Aging is accompanied by a greater increase in sympathetic traffic in women than in men, independent of menopausal status [4,5].
