Isolated Systolic Hypertension. Isolated systolic hypertension is a situation when the upper pressure reading is above 140 mmHg and the lower reading is less than 90 mmHg. It is a condition in which the systolic pressure is at 140 and the diastolic pressure at 90. This condition is mainly associated with aging.
But that doesn't seem to bother Hollywood powers Viacom via (which owns Paramount), Lionsgate lgf and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. They're defying all odds to launch a bold service, called Epix, that hopes to break into the premium TV business long dominated by HBO, Showtime and Starz.
In addition to CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon and UPN, Viacom owns the Showtime pay-TV service, the studio Paramount Pictures, radio station and billboard owner Infinity Broadcasting and publisher Simon & Schuster. On the New York Stock Exchange, Class B shares of Viacom were off 62.5 cents to close at $57.88.
