    Abstract:
    In a community survey of 3242 subjects, 1663 did not initially have isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and were re-screened an average of 8 years later. ISH developed in 53 (22%) of untreated patients with previous diastolic hypertension. Similarly, 8% of subjects with transient hypertension and 8% of normotensive controls developed ISH. Of all cases of ISH, 16% had previous diastolic hypertension. These subjects were more likely to have continued to smoke (P = 0.01) and lost more weight (P = 0.001) than patients with ISH who did not have burned-out diastolic hypertension.
