Noninvasive detection of an increased vascular mass in untreated hypertensive patients
1994
Structural changes of the arterial vasculature are of major pathophysiologic and prognostic significance in human hypertension. A high-resolution ultrasonic echotracking device was used to measure internal diameter and intima-media thickness of the radial artery, a medium-sized muscular conduit artery, in 60 hypertensive patients and in 40 age-matched control subjects. Of the 60 hypertensives, 33 were never treated and 27 were well-controlled by antihypertensive therapy. Radial artery mass and thickness/radius ratio were used to describe the radial artery structure
