An important topic, upon which an initial group of articles are focused, is that of the factors influencing blood pressure levels. The issue opens with a Consensus Document produced by the Working Group on Obesity, Diabetes and the High Risk Patient of the European Society of Hypertension regarding the pathogenesis of obesity-induced ...
This Mendelian randomization study identified high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, body mass index, alcohol dependence, insomnia, and educational level as causal risk factors for hypertension. This implicates that these modifiable risk factors are important targets in the prevention of hypertension.
We examined whether the relationship between systolic hypertension burden, diastolic hypertension burden, and cardiovascular outcomes was influenced by the choice of threshold for the...
Blood pressure variability as estimated by SD is an important measure and researchers in the area should be familiar with the average magnitude of that variability, 14 mmHg for systolic and 8 mmHg for diastolic, and the factors that can affect it.
The objectives of this study were to determine the proportion of African Americans that maintain normal BP as they age, identify lifestyle and psychosocial factors that are associated with maintaining normal BP, and determine the rate of incident CVD among African Americans who maintain normal BP.
High blood pressure (BP), cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, and lipid abnormalities are major modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Among these, high BP is associated with the strongest evidence for causation and has a high prevalence of exposure.
Key points. Hypertension is more prevalent in low-income and middle-income countries than in high-income countries. In 2015, 8.5 million deaths were associated with high blood pressure, 88% of...
