Corresponding reaction: Increasing SBP and DBP: 10.8
%
Increased SBP and reduced DBP: 13.2 %
Reduced SBP and increased DBP: 17.7 %
Unchanged SBP and reduced DBP: 3.0 %
Increased SEP and unchanged DBP: 0.6 %
Unchanged SBP and increased DBP: 1.2 %
Reduced SBP and unchanged DBP: 1.8 %
The study shows that one can expect reduction in either
SBP or DBP in about 70 % of the cases. Corresponding
reactions in both SBP and DBP can be expected in
around 50 % of the cases, whereas a general increase
can be expected in only 11 % of the cases.
There were no cases with corresponding unchanged
readings in both SBP and DBP.
