Moderate obesity does not appear to modify hypertension hemodynamics; supports uniform profiling but leaves open longitudinal and therapeutic implications.
Does moderate obesity alter the hemodynamic and volume profiles of established essential hypertension compared to nonobese hypertensives and normal subjects?
Hypertension in moderately obese subjects shares similar hemodynamic and volume profiles with hypertension in nonobese subjects, suggesting that moderate obesity does not alter the underlying hemodynamic characteristics of established essential hypertension.
