  • Title: [Electrocardiographic evolution of severe medically treated hypertension].
    Author: Blancher JF, Ben-Mais H, Simon A, Aboras N, Kheder A, Safar M.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1979 Mar; 72(3):296-300. PubMed ID: 158350.
    Abstract:
    Electrocardiographic finding were studied in 34 severe hypertensions submitted to antihypertensive therapy. The duration of the survey was between 2 and 6 years. No significant correlation was observed between the changes in pressure and the changes in electrocardiogramm: normalisation of blood pressure could be associated with abnormalities in the electrocardiogramm, concerning especially ST segments and T waves. In the latter case, a high frequency of coronary insufficiency was observed. The results suggested that cardiac factors, independent of the pressure level, could determine the electrocardiographic changes during antihypertensive therapy.
