Hypertension, diastolic, resistance to

Summary

Hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiac and renal disease, arteriosclerosis, retinopathy, and stroke. Systolic hypertension reflects an increase in the force of cardiac contraction, whereas diastolic hypertension reflects an increase in peripheral vascular resistance. Normalization of blood pressure is associated with reductions in morbidity and mortality related to end-organ damage. [from OMIM]
