“…Subsequent investigators (4, 5 , 7, 8,9,11,15) have reported that in persons free from cardiovascular disease from 21 per cent to 94 per cent of the groups investigated gave a decrease in CFF in response to the administration of nitroglycerin, while among groups of patients suffering from known cardiovascular disease from 48 to 97 per cent of them showed an increase in CFF following the administration of nitroglycerin.…”

“…In the literature available to us, the only mention of coarctation of the aorta in this connection concerned one case of this anomaly reported by Russek et al (17). The initial FFT was not given and the response to nitroglycerin was an increase in FFT.…”

It has been hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection may contribute to reduced stature, risk of hypertension or obesity. The aim was to evaluate body indices in Hp positive and negative persons. A total of 2436 subjects (4-100 years old) were tested for Hp status by 13 C-urea breath test. Data on height and weight were collected for 84%, and blood pressure for 80% of the study subjects. The prevalence of Hp infection was 41.6%. The odds ratio for a 10-year increase in age was 1.21 (95% CI 1.17-1.25, p-value <0.001). Statistically significant negative association of Hp positivity with body height was most pronounced in the younger age groups, while a positive association of Hp positivity with body mass index was only seen in those aged 15+ years. There was a negative effect of Hp positivity on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in subjects below 25 and a relatively strong positive effect on blood pressure in subjects over 65 years. Residual confounding by social characteristics as a possible explanation for the associations of Hp positivity with height and blood pressure cannot be excluded. Unmeasured factors related to social and family environment may cause the apparent association between Hp positivity and children's growth and blood pressure.
