Body weight variation and control of cardiovascular risk factors in essential hypertension

Abstract

In hypertensive subjects, even small changes in weight may have an important impact on achieving cardiovascular goals, mainly in those with MS.

Persistent Hypertension and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy After Repair of Native Coarctation of Aorta in Adults

“…8,9 Although previous studies have estimated that COA account for <1% of adults presenting with hypertension, the disease prevalence is likely underestimated because most providers may not routinely screen for COA. 10,11…”

4-hydroxy-2-quinolones. 197*. The search for novel diuretics amongst halo-substituted 6-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-oxo-1,2-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo-[3,2,1-ij]quinoline-5-carboxylic acid anilides

“…In the last decade, diuretics have secured a place in the treatment of arterial hypertension and chronic heart failure. Although being not strictly antihypertensive medicines, they lead to the elimination of a large amount of liquid from the organism thus lowering arterial pressure to a physiological norm [2,3]. Indapamide is a particularly widely used medicine amongst this pharmacological group [4][5][6][7][8][9].…”

Differences in weight gain in hypertensive and diabetic elderly patients primary care study

“…Weight gain after 20 years of age substantially increased the risk of prehypertension in non-hypertensive individuals, while weight loss significantly lowered it, emphasizing the importance of weight control throughout adulthood in preventing hypertension [36]. To lose or not gain weight was an independent 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 re-submitting revised JNHA May 2011 prognostic factor to achieve the blood pressure goal in all the patients [37].
