The contribution of the systolic and diastolic components for the diagnosis of arterial hypertension under the 2017 ACC/AHA Guideline and metabolic heterogeneity among individuals with Stage 1 hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the impact of the 2017 ACC/AHA hypertension guideline on the distribution pattern of hypertension modalities (isolated systolic hypertension [ISH], isolated diastolic hypertension [IDH], and systolic-diastolic hypertension [SDH]). This cross-sectional study had the following objectives: to compare the prevalence of hypertension, ISH, IDH, and SDH, according to the definitions of the JNC 7 or the 2017 guideline; to determine the relative contribution of the systolic and the diastolic components for the diagnosis of hypertension; and to compare the metabolic profile of ISH, IDH, or SDH among new hypertensive individuals by the 2017 guideline. The authors retrospectively evaluated 33 594 patients (42 ± 10 years, 67% male) who underwent a routine health evaluation. Hypert
