Lower-frequency Mayer wave shift was associated with hypertension progression risk; leaves open predictive value and need for prospective validation.
Cohort (n=94)
A shift of Mayer waves to lower frequencies in borderline hypertensive men is associated with an increased risk of developing established hypertension over 5 years.
R. Takalo (1999) conducted a cohort in Hypertension (n=94). Frequency shift of Mayer waves to lower frequencies vs. Normal frequency of Mayer waves was evaluated on Follow-up ambulatory blood pressure levels and increment in blood pressure. A frequency shift of Mayer waves to lower frequencies is associated with an increased risk of developing established hypertension over a 5-year follow-up.
