The aim of our study was to compare blood pressure (BP) measured by 24-h ambulatory monitoring in young and elderly hypertensives and to find a dependency between left ventricular mass (LVM) and different pressure ratios. We also estimated the calcium ionized concentration and serum lipids in all subjects. Two hypertensive groups divided accordingly by age were studied. The duration of hypertension was similar in both groups. The Oxford Medilog ABP was used for the arterial BP recordings. Mean arterial BP, BP loads and night/day mean arterial pressure ratio were evaluated. In both groups left ventricular mass index (LVMI) were calculated. The serum calcium ionized concentration (Ca++) was estimated and serum lipids were determined. We found 10 non-dippers in the young group and seven non-dippers in the elderly hypertensives. LVM and LVMI were comparable in both groups. We showed the correlation of the nocturnal mean arterial pressure with LVM in elderly hypertensives and the dependency of nocturnal BP load with LVM in this group. Serum calcium ionized concentration was significantly decreased in the elderly patients, and LDL-cholesterol was significantly higher in this group. We found a negative correlation between serum calcium and triglycerides in young and elderly hypertensives. We found more non-dippers in the young hypertensives and a positive correlation between LVM and nocturnal mean arterial pressure and nocturnal BP load in elderly subjects. These results suggest the cardiovascular prognosis is not good in both groups. The prognosis in elderly hypertensives was also worsened by the low serum calcium ionized and high LDL-cholesterol concentrations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. 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. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
