title: Blood pressure in Down's syndrome.
abstract: Systolic and diastolic blood pressures of a large sample of subjects with Down's syndrome have been compared with those of institutional controls and of the normal population. Subjects with Down's syndrome have the lowest pressures at all ages and institutional controls tend to fall between the two. The rise of blood pressure with age is slight in the two institutional groups and the reported sex difference in the normal population was not observed.
