title: [ST-segment depressions correlate in patients with hypertensive heart disease with spontaneous changes in blood pressure].
abstract: In 15 patients with essential hypertension, anginal pain, and angiographically excluded coronary artery disease 24-h monitoring of the ST-segment and blood pressure was performed. 26 episodes with ST-segment depressions 0400.1 mV were recorded in 11/15 patients. In 10/26 episodes with ST-segment depressions blood pressure was elevated above 150/95 mm Hg or by more than 20% as compared to three successive measurements before the ST-segment depressions. Heart rate was increased by more than 20% in 20/26 ST-segment depressions. During 9 periods with ST-segment depressions angina pectoris was reported; in addition 27 anginal attacks without ST-segment depressions were observed. A significant, positive correlation between the diastolic (p less than 0.005) and systolic (p less than 0.02) blood pressure and the extent of the ST-segment depression was observed. These correlations imply a patho-physiological meaning of ST-segment depressions in hypertensive patients.
