100 young hypertensive men were examined, mean age 23,6 [22.8-24.3], they were compared to 64 middle-aged hypertensive patients, mean age 49,0 [46,7-51,4]. Isolated systolic hypertension was determined in more than 2/3 young cases. Blood pressure monitoring should be used to discover hypertension in young patients. When perindopril treatment is used, target blood pressure in six month was achieved in 91,2 % hypertensive men aged between 18 and 30.
