摘要
The effect of a course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on blood pressure control in hypertensive patients has not been studied. We retrospectively examined pre- and post-ECT blood pressures in hypertensive and nonhypertensive patients. In neither group was there a statistically significant change in blood pressure with a course of ECT. We conclude that a course of ECT does not worsen blood pressure in hypertensive patients beyond the peritreatment period.
