In simple terms, if CO is normal and vascular impedance is normal, then BP can only be normal. If this can be achieved within reasonable physiologic parameters for HR and DO2, then adverse haemodynamic effects from the medication should be minimal....
There are still major gaps in basic, clinical and translational knowledge; thus, further research, with a focus on vulnerable populations, is needed to better characterize, detect and effectively treat all forms of pulmonary hypertension. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your ...
Hypertension is currently defined in terms of levels of blood pressure associated with increased cardiovascular risk. A cut-off of 140/90mm Hg is accepted as a threshold level above which treatment should at least be considered. This would give a prevalence of hypertension of about 20% of the ...
Observational studies appear to indicate at least a twofold increased risk of mortality for hypertensive patients with COVID-19; however, the previous and continued use of RAAS inhibitors may be protective in this subgroup of patients. The scarcity of randomized clinical trials precludes evidence-...
Other studies found ABSI could predict premature death by expressing the additional risk from high WC, using a simple formula8. At present, the predictive value of unconventional obesity-related indicators for hypertension is unelucidated. Preliminary studies inferred that inconsistency in the research ...
for self monitoring and usual care and that overall costs were similar too; savings were apparent in terms of consultations and laboratory tests associated with hypertensive care, which cancelled out the increased costs of monitoring. Other studies of self monitoring are not comparable with our study...
In intact lambs, the arousal probability increased and arousal time decreased with increasing stimulus strength (1-30 mmHg), but the arousal time difference between QS and REM remained constant. Consideration of these findings in terms of a simple baroreflex threshold model suggests that the slower ...
Sodium sensitivity is higher in hypertensive populations than in general populations without hypertension, and higher in resistant hyper- tensive patients than in simple hypertensive individuals [94, 95]. Older adults and people with a higher level of BP or comorbidities, such as CKD and diabetes, ...
The incidence of resistant hypertension (RH) is higher among people with diabetes than in the general or hypertensive population. The peculiar presentation of hypertensive patients with DM reflects the need for specific guidelines. Indian guidelines need to be more comprehensive in terms of patient edu...
However, the significant overlap of VAI confidence intervals does not imply that VAI is superior to other measures of obesity in terms of how closely it is associated with hypertension. Notably, the combination of VAI and WC showed the closest indicator of hypertension. This conclusion is ...
