Implication

Sympathetic activity linked to early septal thickening in borderline hypertension; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Population

35 subjects including 11 normal subjects, 13 borderline hypertensives, and 11 stable hypertensives without radiological or electrocardiographic signs of left ventricular hypertrophy

Outcome

Left ventricular wall thickness and function, plasma renin activity, and plasma catecholaminessurrogate

Sympathetic overactivity may play a role in the early development of interventricular septum hypertrophy in borderline hypertension.
