Target organ damage was compared in 204 hypertensive white
patients and 79 hypertensive blacks. 42 mixed race matched pairs
were formed based on sex, MAP, weight, and age. There were no
differences in cardiac output, vascular resistance, LVMI, renal
blood flow or renal vascular resistance between these matched
white-black hypertensive pairs. The data suggest that there may
be less race-related differences in target organ damage between
whites and blacks than previously believed.
