Suggests multifactorial hemodynamics in borderline hypertension; hypothesis-generating for progression mechanisms in longitudinal studies.
What is the relationship between cardiac output and peripheral resistance in patients with borderline hypertension compared to healthy controls under various hemodynamic conditions?
Borderline hypertension is not caused solely by elevations of cardiac output, as blood pressure remains elevated even when cardiac output is reduced and peripheral resistance is increased.
Julius et al. (1971) studied this question.
