YANG Chun-hua
Abstract：Objectives To investigate the etiologic factors of intractable hypertension with different genders and ages. Methods Totally 608 cases of intractable hypertension with different genders and ages between Septem-ber 2001 and December 2008 were reviewed. Results Primary hypertension accounted for 79.4% (483/608),secondary hypertension was 19.7% (120/608) and uncertain etiology was 0.8% (5/608). Male was much more than female. Furthemore, the proportion of male was also higher than that of female in primary hypertension, renal parenchymal hypertension, sleep apnea syndromes and primary aldosteronism. The proportion of female was much more than male in pheochromocytoma. There was no gender difference in renovascular hypertension. In secondary intractable hypertension, the youth showed the largest proportion (33.9%) and the elderly people accounted for smallest proportion (13.8%). Conclusions In the 608 cases, primary hypertension has the highest proportion. In secondary hypertension, renal parenchymal hypertension and sleep apnea syndromes have a high proportion. In en-docrinic hypertension, primary aldosteronism and young patients have the highest proportion.
