Minimal forearm vascular resistances during maximal postischaemic vasodilation were measured in normotensive subjects with syndrome X, a condition characterized by angina and normal coronary arteries, in which a reduced coronary and systemic vasodilatory capacity has been reported. Age- and sex-matched normals and essential hypertensives constituted the control groups. The syndrome X patients had a significantly higher minimal forearm vascular resistance than the normals, indicating that arteriolar alterations may occur in the normotensive state and therefore cannot be considered solely as a consequence of hypertension.

Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.
