Increased arterial stiffness has been shown to predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with primary hypertension. Asymptomatic organ damage is known precede events. We investigated the relationship between a recently proposed index of derived from ambulatory blood pressure (BP) and target 188 untreated Ambulatory was defined as 1 minus regression slope diastolic over systolic BP readings obtained 24-hour recordings. Albuminuria measured albumin:creatinine ratio, left ventricular mass...
Hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) are at greater risk for cardiovascular disease. To get a better understanding of the pathophysiology underlying this association, we evaluated relationship between MS and subclinical organ damage in essential hypertensive patients.A total 354 untreated, nondiabetic primary hypertension were included study. A modified ATP III definition was used, body mass index replacing waist circumference. Albuminuria measured as albumin to creatinine...
Objective Arterial stiffness is a predictor of cardiovascular mortality in the general population as well hypertension and end-stage renal disease. We investigated relationship between recently proposed ambulatory blood pressure monitoring-derived index arterial early signs damage patients with primary hypertension. Design setting A total 168 untreated sustained were studied. Ambulatory (AASI) was calculated based on 24-h readings. Albuminuria measured albumin to creatinine ratio. Creatinine...
Mild renal dysfunction (MRD) is an often overlooked but relatively common condition in patients with primary hypertension (PH), and associated high cardiovascular morbidity mortality. Whether MRD also abnormalities vascular resistance currently unknown.Two hundred ninety-one untreated PH were studied. The was defined as a creatinine clearance >or=60 mL/min <90 (Cockcroft-Gault formula) or the presence of microalbuminuria. Albuminuria measured albumin-to-creatinine ratio first morning urine...
The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between active smoking as well environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and severe small for gestational age (SGA) at term in a sample pregnant Italian women.A case-control conducted nine cities Italy October 1999 September 2000. Cases SGA were singleton, live born, children with birth weight <or= 5(th) percentile age. Controls (10:1 cases) enrolled from among singleton births that occurred same hospitals one or two days after...
Objectives: This article investigates the efficacy of acupuncture for maintenance breastfeeding during first 3 months a newborn's life. Subjects and interventions: After written informed consent was obtained, 90 women were randomly divided into two groups: treatment or observation. Acupuncture sessions performed twice weekly weeks (total six sessions). The control group made visits to clinic midwife observed their breastfeeding, giving routine care. In both groups, semistructured clinical...
The smart city is increasingly becoming a concept of reference for what concerns the planning and spatial development cities. cannot be easily standardized. It based on multi-service multi-sectorial regarding various urban functions (energy, mobility, waste, etc.) places them under common denominator: use advanced technologies minimizing resources consumption simultaneously increase quality life citizens. This paper aims to give an overview outline what, at present, are main intervention...
To assess the impact and cost-effectiveness of microalbuminuria cardiovascular ultrasonography in evaluating risk profile primary hypertension.Four hundred five untreated patients with hypertension underwent a routine, traditional work-up plus evaluation albuminuria ultrasound (US) assessment cardiac vascular structures. Albuminuria was measured as albumin to creatinine ratio three non-consecutive first-morning urine samples. Left ventricular mass index assessed by MB-mode echocardiography...
Microalbuminuria, a powerful predictor of cardiovascular events, is thought to reflect widespread subclinical vascular abnormalities. To explore the pathogenesis increased urinary albumin excretion in primary hypertension we evaluated systemic capillary permeability and ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurement two groups matched untreated patients with (n = 11) without 29) microalbuminuria.Albuminuria was measured as mean albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) three nonconsecutive first morning...
Background:Urinary albumin excretion and left ventricular mass are related to each other the risk of cardiovascular events in patients with primary hypertension. We aimed identify a lower threshold for albuminuria that might improve detection hypertrophy (LVH) cost-effectiveness assessment.
