Abstract

Of 691 healthy (untreated) villagers of Tecumseh, Michigan (average age 32.6 years), 99 had a clinical blood pressure exceeding 140/90 mmHg. Thirty-seven per cent of these borderline hypertensives had increased heart rate, cardiac index, forearm blood flow and plasma norepinephrine. These subjects had elevated self-determined home blood pressure (average of 14 measurements). The present hyperkinetic borderlines had elevated blood pressure at 5, 8, 21 and 23 years of age and their parents also had higher blood pressure. The prevalence of high blood pressure in Tecumseh, its long history, elevated blood pressure readings outside the physician's office and family background of hypertension, suggests that the hyperkinetic state is a significant clinical condition. Previous studies on hospital-based populations proved that the hyperkinetic state is caused by an excessive autonomic drive. The association of the hyperkinetic state with elevated norepinephrine in this study suggests that a sympathetic hyperactivity is present in a large proportion of unselected subjects with mild blood pressure elevation.

  • Young subjects with hyperkinetic borderline hypertension had increased heart rate frequently associated with an elevation in plasma norepinephrine.

    “In classic studies by Julius et al31, young subjects with hyperkinetic borderline hypertension, had increased heart rate which was frequently associated with an elevation in plasma norepinephrine.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
