Key result
Borderline hypertension was associated with a shift to lower frequencies in vasomotor oscillations (0.05-0.12 Hz) compared to normotensive and mildly hypertensive men.
Why the study?
Is there a frequency shift in baroregulatory vasomotor oscillations in borderline hypertensive men compared to normotensive and mildly hypertensive men?
Population
95 men aged 35 to 45 years, comprising 33 normotensive, 29 borderline hypertensive, and 33 mildly…

Frequency shift in BP oscillations may signal early baroreflex alteration in borderline hypertension; leaves open predictive value or therapeutic implications.

Is there a frequency shift in baroregulatory vasomotor oscillations in borderline hypertensive men compared to normotensive and mildly hypertensive men?
Borderline hypertensive men exhibit a significant shift to lower frequencies in baroregulatory vasomotor oscillations compared to normotensive and mildly hypertensive individuals.
Reijo Takalo (1997) conducted a cross-sectional in Borderline hypertension (n=95). Borderline hypertension vs. Normotension and mild hypertension was evaluated on Frequency shift in vasomotor oscillations in blood pressure and heart rate (0.05 to 0.12 Hz). Borderline hypertension was associated with a shift to lower frequencies in vasomotor oscillations (0.05-0.12 Hz) compared to normotensive and mildly hypertensive men.
