- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>1. Agreement between existing (clinically used) methods and newly developed<br /><br>methods for determining: arterial wall properties (distensibility as function<br /><br>of pressure) and left ventricular geometry (dilated or not, wall thickened or<br /><br>not).<br /><br><br /><br>2. Reproducibility of the new methods, which determines the ability to track<br /><br>changes in functional and structural aspects of cardiovascular interaction over<br /><br>time.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Possible contribution of the new methods to the clinical diagnosis and<br /><br>treatment of hypertensive patients. (By retrospective analysis by physician.)</p><br>
