| Popis: | Casual readings of blood pressure predict mortality and may reflect either the risk of sustained hypertension, additional components of 'white coat' hypertension or variable blood pressure. This study investigated mortality in 442 men and 360 women with a diastolic pressure (Phase IV) of 90 mmHg and over, unsustained on two subsequent monthly visits, followed for an average of 11 years and compared with a matched control cohort with an initial diastolic pressure (DBP) of less than 90 mmHg. Subjects were identified between 1975 and 1979 by screening 28 257 subjects aged 18-65 years on the lists of general practitioners in seven practices in the United Kingdom. Additionally, 912 men and 844 women with sustained hypertension (DBP>90 mmHg on at least two out of three occasions) were identified and matched with normotensive controls. In men with sustained hypertension the relative risk (RR) for death from circulatory disease was 1·76, P |
