Medical Conditions - Isolated Hypertension

Isolated hypertension occurs when diastolic pressure levels are less than 80 mmHg (milliliters of mercury) and systolic pressure is around or higher than 140 mmHg. This is seen more commonly in people above 65 years of age. It can occur due to obesity, hypothyroidism, or heart valve disease. The frequent high systolic blood pressure can increase the risk of stroke.
