This study investigated the time trend in selfreported arterial hypertension from 1998 to 2008 in individuals older than 20 years in Brazil. Data were analyzed on prevalence of hypertension from the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) for the years 1998, 2003, and 2008. The analysis considered the sampling complexity and included 203,419, 238,591, and 257,816 individuals in the years 1998, 2003, and 2008, respectively. The time trend in hypertension was analyzed by sex, family income, geographic regions of Brazil, and area of residence (urban versus rural), and the prevalence rates were adjusted for age. Prevalence of self-reported hypertension was 12.5% in 1998, 13% in 2003, and 13.9% in 2008, with

Aim:The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new non-invasive marker of arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to compare CAVI in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and in healthy controls. Methods: 82 FH subjects (27 males, 65 females), aged 53.7 13.6 years without clinical symptoms of cardiovascular diseases and 359 healthy controls (121 males, 238 females), aged 43.9 14.9 years, were examined. CAVI was measured using the system VaSera ® 1500. Results: CAVI in FH patients was significantly higher (8.0 1.4) than in healthy subjects (7.5 1.3) p 0.002; however, age, sex and BMI adjusted CAVI did not differ significantly ( p 0.061) between the FH group (7.5, CI: 7.3; 7.7) and control group (7.7, CI: 7.6; 7.7). Conclusion: The study showed no significant difference in CAVI between heterozygous FH and healthy controls.

“…The authors state that in comparison with the CINDI programme, results from 2011 suggest a significant decrease in total cholesterol mean values in both sexes, an increase in BMI especially in males, an increase in systolic blood pressure in males and stabilisation in females, and a significant decrease in smoking prevalence (28). Conversely, from the results of MONICA and post-MONICA programmes in the Czech Republic it is clear that in the period between 1985-2007, a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure, a decrease in prevalence of hypertension in females, a significant decrease in smoking prevalence in males, and a significant decline in total cholesterol in both males and females were recorded However, an increase in overweight, in males in particular, and diabetes prevalence were recorded (29). According to a modelling study in the Czech Republic, the reduction of main risk factors explained around 52% of the CHD mortality decline between the years 1985-2007 whereas the treatment methods used in this period explained some 43% of the mortality fall (26).…”

SUMMARYCardiovascular diseases (CVD) and especially coronary heart disease (CHD) are the main causes of death in the Slovak Republic (SR). The aim of this study is to explore trends in age-adjusted coronary heart disease mortality rates in the whole Slovak population and in the population of working age between the years 1993 and 2009. A related indicator -potential years of life lost (PYLL) due to CHD -was calculated in the same period for males and females. Crude CHD mortality rates were age-adjusted using European standard population. The joinpoint Poisson regression was performed in order to find out the annual percentage change in trends. The age-adjusted CHD mortality rates decreased in the Slovak population and also in the population of working age. The change was significant only within the working-age sub-group. We found that partial diagnoses (myocardial infarction and chronic ischaemic heart disease) developed in the mirror-like manner. PYLL per 100,000 decreased during the observed period and the decline was more prominent in males. For further research we recommend to focus on several other issues, namely, to examine the validity of cause of death codes, to examine the development of mortality rates in selected age groups, to find out the cause of differential development of mortality rates in the Slovak Republic in comparison with the Czech Republic and Poland, and to explain the causes of decrease of the age-adjusted CHD mortality rates in younger age groups in Slovakia.
