<h3>Importance</h3> The 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Guideline for the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Management High Blood Pressure in Adults lowered systolic diastolic blood pressure thresholds hypertension to 130 80 mm Hg, respectively. This represents a reduction 10 Hg both levels used define compared with previous guidelines, such as Seventh Report Joint National Committee on Treatment (JNC 7). <h3>Objectives</h3> To estimate...
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) correlates more closely to organ damages than clinic (BP). In the current study we aimed investigate association between micro- and macrovascular complications of diabetes both diurnal nocturnal variability in BP.A total 192 patients with type 2 (T2DM) who had complete data on ABPM were selected. BP categories defined based 2017 ACC/American Heart Association guideline. The cross-sectional different phenotypes including cardiovascular disease...
Purpose To evaluate the incidence and predictors of early adulthood pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes (T2D) among Iranian adolescents during a median follow-up 9.2 yr. Method A total 2563 subjects aged 10–19 yr, without pre-diabetes/T2D at baseline, were entered in study. Pre-diabetes was defined as those with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) 5.6 to <7 mmol/L. T2D anti-T2D drug consumption or FPG ≥7 Multivariate Cox-proportional analysis applied examine association between different risk factors that...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> With globalization, the contributions of authors from abroad to American published literature has increased. We sought determine changes with time in proportional and non-American neurosciences literature. hypothesized following: 1) During past 21 years, manuscript institutions have proportionally decreased neuroradiology, more than neurosurgery or neurology; 2) Asian affected neuroradiology 3) articles garner citations. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> reviewed...
To determine the effect of different glucose categories on incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in a population-based cohort.A total 834 individuals aged 65 years older without history CVD at baseline were stratified according to 2-h post-load fasting test into six including: (i) normal glucose/normal tolerance; (ii) prediabetes, (iii) isolated hyperglycemia (IFH); (iv) post-challenge (IPH); (v) IPH IFH; (vi) known diabetes mellitus. The prognostic significance these...
To explore the association between systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP DBP respectively) pulse (PP) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality events among Iranian patients prevalent CKD. Patients [n = 1448, mean age: 60.9 (9.9) years] defined as those estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, were followed from 31 January 1999 to 20 March 2014. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models applied examine associations different components of BP outcomes. During a...
Introduction: Although coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been shown in multiple populations to be predictive of risk, very few studies have assessed its value Asian-Americans. We therefore the CAC for cardiovascular and all-cause mortality risk prediction Asian-Americans using data from Consortium, largest observational cohort clinical scoring yet assembled. Methods: included 1,621 Asian Americans consortium. was modeled categorical (CAC 0; 1 - 99; 100 399; ≥ 400) continuous forms....
