Association of Blood Pressure Control Level With Left Ventricular Morphology and Function and With Subclinical Cerebrovascular Disease

Background Left ventricular ( LV ) hypertrophy and subclinical cerebrovascular disease are early manifestations of cardiac and brain target organ damage caused by hypertension. This study aimed to investigate whether intensive office systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) control has beneficial effects on LV morphology and function and subclinical cerebrovascular disease in elderly patients with hypertension. Methods and Results We examined 420...
