Progression of diabetic nephropathy--is diurnal blood pressure rhythm as important as absolute blood pressure level?
BACKGROUND Hypertensive non-diabetic patients who lack the normal nocturnal decline in blood pressure ('non-dippers') have an increased incidence of cardiovascular complications. Poor blood pressure control is known to exacerbate the decline in glomerular filtration rate in patients with diabetic nephropathy. METHODS The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of abnormal blood press...
متن کاملBlood pressure and mortality: using offspring blood pressure as an instrument for own blood pressure in the HUNT study
Given that observational associations may be inaccurate, we used offspring blood pressure (BP) to provide alternative estimates of the associations between own BP and mortality. Observational associations between BP and mortality, estimated as hazard ratios (HRs) from Cox regression, were compared to HRs obtained using offspring BP as an instrumental variable (IV) for own BP (N = 32,227 mother-...

متن کاملAlcohol consumption as a risk factor for high blood pressure. Munich Blood Pressure Study.
The Munich Blood Pressure Study (MBS), a 1980-81 cross-sectional study (with follow-up) of a random sample of 3198 Munich citizens aged 30-69 years (response rate 69%), revealed hypertensive blood pressure (BP) values in 17.7% of men and 10.7% of women (WHO criteria). One of the main goals of the MBS was to search for social, behavioral, and environmental risk factors for hypertension. The rela...
متن کاملBLOOD PRESSURE COMPONENTS AS PREDICTORS OF ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE MORTALITY IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND
The relative importance of systolic blood pressure (SBP) versus diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in predicting the risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality is controversial. We have re-examined SBP compared to D BP and other combinations of SBP and D BP in predicting the risk of IHD mortality in a long-term cohort study oflO,541 men and women in the West of Scotland. During a mean fo...
