HYPERTENSION
Our study demonstrated that MW parameters were more sensitive to the changes of systolic function during intensive BP treatment than traditional parameters. Furthermore, intensive BP treatment was associated with reduced GWI and GCW in the elderly hypertensive patients. GWW increased and GWE declined in the both groups. We demonstrated that intensive antihypertensive treatment did not reverse MW in elderly hypertensive patients. Further research of our group should pay more attention to determine the prognostic value of MW on cardiovascular outcome during the hypertension treatment.
