ABSTRACT
objective To evaluate the relationship between the pulse pressure and the cardiac geometric structure in patients with essential hypertension. Methods Three hundred and ninety-five patients,age ranging from 20 to 77 years,were enrolled into the study. Their clinical systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) were all above 140/90mmHg. All the patients either were initially diagnosed as having essential hypertension,or confirmed after taking a the placebo for 2 weeks after stopping anti-hypertensive drugs. The cardiac geometric structure was determined by the echocardiography at the same time when the patients untook the 24 hours ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Results The clinical pulse pressure was significantly different among the groups as divided by the age ( P
