Abstract
Changes in compliance has been used to diagnose cardiovascular diseases. Their use for the evaluation of different types of hypertension, however, has been limited. The authors examine this aspect. Results indicate the mean decrease in compliance is more pronounced in systolic hypertensives than either the diastolic hypertensives or the systolic/diastolic hypertensives
