RETRACTED: Isolated systolic hypertension in young adults: a case report

Abstract
The recent guidelines by European Society of Cardiology and European Society of Hypertension (2013) recommend measurement of systolic central blood pressure in diagnostics ofisolated systolic hypertension in young adults. Enhanced amplification of pulse pressure is common in young people, resulting in the increased systolic peripheral blood pressure, while central blood pressure is remaining unchanged. The article reports on the case of spurious systolic hypertension in young male led to the error in the findings of occupational medicine experts. Measurement of central aortic blood pressure solved the problem. Isolated systolic hypertension in young adultsis not true hypertension, and it should not be considered as a limitation for professional and other activities.
