Extracellular fluid (ECF) is associated with blood pressure, but reports on the status of the ECF volume in hypertension have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to assess the ECF volume status in hypertensives with regard to body size in a large cohort. We performed a single-center case–control observation study for patients who visited the outpatient hypertension clinic and health examination center. For all eligible participants, we examined the body composition, including fluid compartments, using a noninvasive bioimpedance analysis. [Actualizado: 9 de octubre 2013].
