Ambulatory arterial stiffness indices and target organ damage in hypertension
BACKGROUND The present study was designed to evaluate which arterial stiffness parameter - AASI or the home arterial stiffness index (HASI) - correlates best with vascular, cardiac and renal damage in hypertensive individuals. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out involving 258 hypertensive patients. AASI and HASI were defined as the 1-regression slope of diastolic over systolic blo...
متن کاملTarget Organ Damage in Hypertension
This special issue is related to the main concern in hyper-tensive disease: the target-organ damage. The selected papers approach some aspects of renal and cerebral disease associated to hypertension but the principal focus is on the arterial vessel as the main organ involved in hypertensive patients. Although hypertensive cardiopathy is not specifically included in this issue, the heart diseas...
متن کاملTarget Organ Damage in Essential Hypertension
Epidemiological data suggests that hypertension remains a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in Western countries. The prevalence of the disease among adults in Slovenia aged 25–64 years is between 40–50% (CINDI, 2006). The early detection and severity of typical target organ damage and secondary diseases are key determinants of cardiovascular prognosis in patients sufferin...
متن کاملHypertension Highlights Immunology in Hypertension, Preeclampsia, and Target-Organ Damage
Hypertension generally brings to mind hemodynamic mechanisms, increased peripheral vascular resistance, the laws of Ohm or Hagen-Poisseule, and perhaps targetorgan damage mediated through acceleration of atherosclerosis, vasculitis, or other concomitant processes. However, innate and acquired adaptive cellular or even antibodymediated immunity plays an active role in the pathogenesis of hyperte...
متن کاملSpecific Features of Target Organ Damage in Patients with Arterial Hypertension and Coronary Artery Disease
Worldwide, nearly 8 million premature deaths, 54% of stroke cases and 47% of ischemic heart disease cases were attributable to high blood pressure (BP >115 mm Hg systolic) (Ruilope, 2011). It is widely known that arterial hypertension has effects on target organs like the brain, the heart and the kidney. Now a large body of evidence on the crucial role of subclinical organ damage in determining...
