Blood pressure response to treatment.

Blood pressure response to treatment.

Gender 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...

Brain imaging findings predict blood pressure response to pharmacological treatment.

Hypertension appears to alter brain morphology, as well as the cerebrovascular support for information processing. Because these effects might reflect progressive effects of essential hypertension on the brain, we asked whether structural and functional brain indices would predict the success of pharmacological treatment of hypertension among 45 previously unmedicated individuals. After initial...

Blood pressure response to hemodialysis.

Blood pressure response to hemodialysis was investigated in 15 patients with end-stage kidney disease; mean arterial pressure was unchanged in five (Group 1) and reduced 10 mm Hg in 10 (Group 2). The two groups did not differ significantly with regard to either biochemical values or hemodynamic indices before dialysis, and both sustained comparable reduction in body weight, total blood volume, ...

Response to HYVET ambulatory blood pressure substudy.

Response to HYVET Ambulatory Blood Pressure Substudy Bursztyn et al1 speculate that our ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) participants were not representative of the whole trial. We agree this is possible but very unlikely in view of the similarity of the participant characteristics given in Table 1. As the elderly frequently nap, he wonders if this would substantially reduce daytime pressure. Ho...
