Main hemodynamic findings in arterial HT subtypes with regard to Ct and TPR. The 24 h ABPM profile reflects the state of Ct and TPR. Younger individuals with IDH present with a normal Ct and frequently increased CO. Patients with ND-SDH maintain an adequate Ct with a higher TPR, while subjects with D-SDH present with a reduced Ct, high PP and high TPR. Finally, the ISH subtype occurs in older individuals with significantly reduced Ct, high PP and a variable TPR proportional to the degree of arterial stiffness and MAP values. There was an observed increase in PP with age in relation to the changes in Ct (see also text). SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; MAP: mean arterial pressure; PP: pulse pressure; N: normotension; HT: hypertension; IDH: isolated diastolic hypertension; ND-SDH: nondivergent systole-diastolic hypertension; D-SDH: divergent systolic-diastolic hypertension; ISH: isolated systolic hypertension; Ct: total arterial compliance; TPR: total peripheral resistance; CO: cardiac output; 24 h ABPM: 24 h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
