[ECG parameters in initial neurosensory hypoacusis in early hypertension]
Abstract:
ECG and audiometry parameters were studied in conventional (0.125-8 kHz) and extended (9-16 kHz) frequency range in 115 patients with early neurosensory hypoacusis (NSH) in combination with initial hypertension or episodes of blood pressure rise. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 (n=60) consisted of hypertensive patients with NSH, group 2--of NSH patients with episodes of high blood pressure. Tone hearing indices in groups 1 and 2 differed more in extended frequency range (9-16 kHz), especially in frequencies 14 and 16 kHz. As shown by ECG, group 1 patients exhibited more severe hypoxic myocardial changes. The conclusion is that early NSH patients with initial hypertension or episodes of high blood pressure are recommended to undergo ECG for administration of more effective treatment.

Special considerations while measuring blood pressure
Monitoring Both Arms:
Monitoring BP in both arms during the initial assessment is advisable, as the systolic value may differ by five to ten mm Hg between arms. For subsequent BP assessments, use the arm with the higher reading.

Baroreceptor Reflex
Baroreceptors, located in the carotid sinuses and aortic arch, detect changes in blood pressure. When blood pressure rises, these stretch-sensitive receptors...
