P1.18 State of Target-Organs in Georgian Obese and Overweight Hypertensive Subjects

Obesity and hypertension (AH) are the most important related risk-factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD),so we examined differences in target-organ injury between obese and overweight hypertensive individuals. We studied 102 patients with mild to moderate AH (67males/35females, mean age 51,3±2,4yea...
