Residual Cardiovascular Risk in Individuals on Blood Pressure–Lowering Treatment
BACKGROUND Hypertensive individuals on blood pressure (BP)-lowering treatment with BP in the normal or high-normal range have higher cardiovascular risk than untreated persons with usual BP in the same range. This residual risk (relative and absolute) is not well quantified and may be attributable in part to the higher burden of subclinical disease in treated individuals. METHODS AND RESULTS ...
متن کاملDeliberately Lowering Blood Pressure with Sodium Nitroprusside
The goal of hyptensive anesthesia is the safe reduction of intraoperative blood loss, thus reducing transfusion risks. Previous hypotensive technics had a narrow margin of safety in that cardiac output was usually reduced in proportion to the degree of induced hypotension. This is in contrast to the results of our study, in which Sodium Nitroprusside was used as the sole hypotensive agent. Ni...
متن کاملGender and the response to blood pressure-lowering treatment.
Hypertension is a global public health problem, making it one of the leading causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The management of hypertension can broadly be divided into the appropriate identification and cardiovascular risk stratification and, secondly, a holistic therapeutic strategy. Given the marked benefits of treating hypertension on complications such as stroke and myocar...
متن کاملFramingham, SCORE, and DECODE risk equations do not provide reliable cardiovascular risk estimates in type 2 diabetes.
A ccurate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk estimates can inform choice of therapeutic strategies for individuals, provided they have been appropriately validated (1). Risk calculators are of particular relevance in diabetic patients given their 2–4 times higher CVD risk compared with the nondiabetic population (2). Framingham Study (3) risk equations for coronary heart disease (CHD) and CVD, b...
متن کاملBlood pressure-lowering treatment strategies based on cardiovascular risk versus blood pressure: A meta-analysis of individual participant data
BACKGROUND Clinical practice guidelines have traditionally recommended blood pressure treatment based primarily on blood pressure thresholds. In contrast, using predicted cardiovascular risk has been advocated as a more effective strategy to guide treatment decisions for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention. We aimed to compare outcomes from a blood pressure-lowering treatment strategy based...
