To study the relationship of echocardiographic epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) with coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors and extent atherosclerosis.EAT thickness was measured in 527 patients undergoing their first angiography. EAT defined as an echo-lucent area on free wall right ventricle still image two-dimensional echocardiogram at end diastole parasternal long-axis short-axis views. A CT scan umbilicus acquired to measure abdominal visceral (VAT) from a random sample 30 patients....
The standardized techniques of blood pressure (BP) measurement in the clinic are emphasized and it is recommended to replace mercury sphygmomanometer by a non-mercury sphygmomanometer. Out-of-office BP using home monitoring (HBPM) or ambulatory (ABPM) even automated office (AOBP) correctly measure patient’s genuine BP. Hypertension (HTN) treatment should be individualized based on cardiovascular (CV) risk level Based recent clinical study data proving benefits intensive lowering high...
Abstract Hypertension is an important public health issue because of its association with a number significant diseases and adverse outcomes. However, there are ethnic differences in the pathogenesis cardio‐/cerebrovascular consequences hypertension. Given large populations rapidly aging demographic Asian regions, optimal strategies to diagnose manage hypertension high importance. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) out‐of‐office (BP) measurement tool that should play central role...
The Korean Society of Hypertension guideline defines hypertension as systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic 90 mmHg, where the effectiveness pharmacological treatment has been established. It is confirmed that higher levels are associated with increased risk cardiovascular disease and mortality also in population. About one third adults aged 30 years older estimated to have hypertension, prevalence gradually increases age increases. awareness, treatment, control rates generally...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is becoming the most important burden to health care systems in part of world, especially Asia. Aiming at identifying high risk individuals and tailoring preventive treatment, many cardiovascular assessment tools have been established them were developed Western countries. However, these cannot be used interchangeably without recalibration because different factor profiles (ie, greater absolute hypertension lower level total-cholesterol Asians higher prevalence...
Abstract Incorporating aggressive lifestyle modifications along with antihypertensive medication therapy is a crucial treatment strategy to enhance the control rate of hypertension. Dietary modification one important interventions for hypertension, and it has been proven have clear effect. Among food ingredients, sodium potassium found strongest association blood pressure. The pressure-lowering effect low diet high well established, especially in hypertensive population. A intake potassium,...
Claudin 18.2 has emerged as a viable therapeutic target in gastric cancer (GC), but little is known about the heterogeneity of its expression GC. This study investigated claudin 166 patients with metastatic GC whose surgical or paired primary–metastatic specimens were available. The prevalence positivity (moderate-to-strong ≥ 75% by 43-14A clone) was 47.0%. 18.2-positive tumors exhibited more frequent peritoneal metastasis and lower incidence hepatic distant lymph node involvement. Survival...
A self‐measured home blood pressure (BP)‐guided strategy is an effective practical approach to hypertension management. The Asia BP@Home study the first designed investigate current BP control status in different Asian countries/regions using standardized measurements taken with same validated monitoring device data memory. We enrolled 1443 medicated hypertensive patients from 15 specialist centers 11 between April 2017 and March 2018. was relatively well controlled 68.2% of a morning...
Hypertension is an important modifiable cardiovascular risk factor and a leading cause of death throughout Asia. Effective prevention control hypertension in the region remain significant challenge despite availability several regional international guidelines. Out‐of‐office measurement blood pressure ( BP ), including home monitoring HBPM management tool. Home better than office for predicting should be considered all patients with ≥ 130/85 mm Hg. It that undertaken using validated device...
Abstract Smartphone technology has spread rapidly around the globe. According to a report released by Korea Information Society Development Institute, about 95% of Koreans aged more than 30 years old owned smartphones. Recently, blood pressure (BP) measurement using photoplethysmography-based smartphone algorithm paired with smartwatch is continuously evolving. In this document, Korean Hypertension intends remark current results / smartwatch-based BP and recommend optimal methods device. We...
Claudin 18.2 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target in gastric cancer based on phase 3 studies. However, clinicopathologic features associated with claudin overexpression have not been comprehensively studied specifically for patients resectable cancer. This retrospective study included 299 stage I-III who underwent curative surgical resection. Possible associations between (moderate-to-strong expression ≥ 75% by the 43-14A clone) and survival outcomes were analyzed. There 90 (30.1%),...
This study aimed to investigate the sex-specific effects of anthropometric profiles on occurrence and severity obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).We evaluated 151 patients with suspected OSA undergoing polysomnography measurements such as body mass index (BMI), neck waist circumference (NC WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR).In men, NC (P = .006), WC .035), WHR .003) were significantly increased in all correlated hypopnea (AHI). However, female patients, BMI .05), .008), .001) elevated, but only was AHI....
