Abstract
The pulse pressure (PP) increases with the age. We evaluated 50 patients with newly diagnosed essential hypertension mean age 39 + 10 years before and after the 3months of treatment with 20mg betaxolol hydrochloride once daily. Blood pressure measurement using 24hour ABPM and mercury sphygmomanometer according to the WHO criteria. Conclusions: 1. The mean age about 40 years characterises younger individuals with the lower mean value of PP and lower potential adverse cardiac implications. 2. The fall of mean office and day ABPM PP values is caused by the time of the measurement. The morning and fewer the afternoon BP and PP were the highest and the highest betaxolol hydrochloride effect was after the treatment. It was seen the less fall of PP in the night hours.
