Predominantly diastolic hypertension (PDH) encompasses isolated diastolic hypertension (IDH) and systo‐diastolic hypertension (SDH) with a narrow pulse pressure. Arrows on the bottom demonstrate how progression of disease can occur (from IDH to SDH and then isolated systolic hypertension [ISH]), but patients may become hypertensive at any stage and also skip or reverse categories.
