For the HF outcome, trial results in isolated systolic hypertension suggest that a 3-mm Hg higher systolic BP could explain a 10% to 20% increase in risk.8,47 The forgoing ignores the absence of a diastolic BP difference in ALLHAT; however, the relationship of diastolic pressure and CVD ...
Common types of CVDs include stroke, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, and hypertension10,11. Considering the intricate nature, risk factors, inherent genetic composition, and trajectory of CVD, personalized treatment is considered indispensable12. Moreover, progress in genomics has ...
Method: Pregnant women between 20 weeks and 34 weeks plus 6 days of gestation, presenting with hypertension and/or proteinuria, with or without symptoms consistent with pre-eclampsia had PlGF levels measured using the same serum samples utilised for current pre-eclampsia investigations. Followin...
to investigate their impact on disease, and to evaluate potential consequences of targeting the implicated gene or its gene product, we imputed the TOPMed reference panel into the UK Biobank and performed a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) across 1342 ICD code-defined disease groups24,25, ...
We reviewed medical records and compared vaccination day BP with BP from prior 2 visits extracted from the computer database. We used a fully automated non-invasive sphygmomanometers. Diagnosis of hypertension were extracted from the past records using ICD-10 code (I1-). Grade of hypertension ...
We diagnosed distal radius fracture using the ICD-10 code over a specific duration and selected participants who were 50 years of age or older. Then, the distal radius fracture participants were matched in a 1:4 ratio with the control group. Participants with previous hip or spinal fracture we...
For the pre- and post OSCE, four OSCE cases for adults and four for pediatrics with acute care scenarios were prepared and reviewed. The cases cover diseases in adults and pediatrics such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, bronchial asthma, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADH...

Hypoxic exposure can lead to onset of pulmonary hypertension (PH). This disorder is prevalent in high-altitude populations [176], although evidence suggests Tibetans may be protected by displaying a lack of muscularization of pulmonary arteries and low hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction [177]. Notch ...
On top of that, mortality was found to be higher among diabetic pulmonary hypertension patients compared to non-diabetic patients [6], indicating that hyperglycemia could adversely contribute to the PAH patients' survival. Another study that investigated the survival of PAH patients with and without ...
