Abstract —A close relationship between alcohol consumption and hypertension has been established, but it is unclear whether there a threshold level for this association. In addition, infrequently studied in longitudinal studies black people. cohort study, 8334 of the Atherosclerosis Risk Communities (ARIC) Study participants, aged 45 to 64 years at baseline, who were free coronary heart disease had their blood pressures ascertained after 6 follow-up. Alcohol was assessed by dietary...
Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are well-known cardiovascular risk factors. Their control could reduce the burden of heart disease across populations. Several drugs used to hypertension, but only consistently effective treatment OSA is continuous positive airway pressure. The identification a drug capable improving simultaneously would provide novel approach in both diseases. Methods/Design This randomized double-blind clinical trial, comparing use...
The aim of this study is to compare spironolactone versus clonidine as the fourth drug in patients with resistant hypertension a multicenter, randomized trial. Medical therapy adherence was checked by pill counting. Patients (no office and ambulatory blood pressure [BP] monitoring control, despite treatment 3 drugs, including diuretic, for 12 weeks) were an additional 12-week (12.5–50 mg QD) or (0.1–0.3 BID). primary end point BP control during (<140/90 mm Hg) 24-h (<130/80 monitoring....
Describing the prevalence and trends of cardiometabolic risk factors that are associated with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is crucial for monitoring progress, planning prevention, providing evidence to support policy efforts. We aimed analyse transition in body-mass index (BMI), obesity, blood pressure, raised diabetes Americas, between 1980 2014.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) is a risk factor for resistant hypertension. Overnight polysomnography and portable sleep monitors are not generally available questionnaires may be useful screening OSAS. In case-control study, we investigate the association between hypertension disorders evaluated by Berlin Questionnaire Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).Cases were 63 patients with (either systolic blood pressure (BP) > or =140 mm Hg diastolic BP =90 using at least three BP-lowering...
Background A positive association of chronic exposure to alcoholic beverages with blood pressure and the prevalence hypertension has been described in epidemiological surveys, but influence time elapsed since last ingestion this setting was not demonstrated. Design cross-sectional, population-based survey. Methods In total 1089 adults from Porto Alegre, randomly selected a population-based, multi-stage probability sample, were interviewed at home. The average daily alcohol intake each...
Abstract Objective : To investigate the association between several anthropometric measurements of obesity with incidence hypertension. Research Methods and Procedures Participants were 592 individuals free hypertension, selected at random from community. In baseline evaluation, they submitted to completed measures demographics, anthropometrics, blood pressure, other risk factors for Incident hypertension was defined by pressure equal or higher than 140/90 mm Hg use pressure‐lowering drugs....
The authors evaluated the relation between consumption of alcoholic beverages and incidence coronary heart disease in White African-American participants Atherosclerosis Risk Communities Study. average duration follow-up was 9.8 years 1987 1998. association analyzed by means Cox proportional hazards regression models. found a positive ethanol incident for Black men (for 13-g/day increment consumption, adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.13, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01, 1.28) an inverse (HR...
Background The notion that hypertension causes headache is widely accepted despite the absence of confirmation by well-designed studies. Objective To investigate association between headache, characterized as tension type and migraine like, with blood pressure hypertension. Methods In a cross-sectional study we evaluate this in sample 1174 individuals older than 17 years, representative inhabitants Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil. Headache its subtypes were defined according to International...
