Keywords

Abstarct

Structural alterations of heart and vessels were studied in 275 patients with arterial hypertension and in 138 healthy persons by echocardiography and applanation tonometry with TensioClinic device of TL1 type. Cardiac morphometric parameters and vascular rigidity alterations differed in elderly hypertensive patients and in normotensive persons of the same age. Applanation tonometry and echocardiography allowed to reveal the degree of target organs’ affection (heart and vessels remodeling) and to administer proper treatment.
