Blood pressure load does not add to ambulatory blood pressure level for cardiovascular risk stratification.
Experts proposed blood pressure (BP) load derived from 24-hour ambulatory BP recordings as a more accurate predictor of outcome than level, in particular in normotensive people. We analyzed 8711 subjects (mean age, 54.8 years; 47.0% women) randomly recruited from 10 populations. We expressed BP load as percentage (%) of systolic/diastolic readings ≥135/≥85 mm Hg and ≥120/≥70 mm Hg during day an...
متن کاملResidual 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 کاملChocolate consumption, blood pressure, and cardiovascular risk
Diet is a lifestyle factor that plays a major role in the primary and secondary prevention of numerous chronic diseases, including certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Current dietary recommendations endorse the consumption of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, as it is now recognized that these are healthy for multiple reasons. In addition to being low in calories and fat, ...
متن کاملBlood pressure targets and absolute cardiovascular risk.
In the Eighth Joint National Committee guideline on hypertension, the threshold for the initiation of blood pressure-lowering treatment for elderly adults (≥60 years) without chronic kidney disease or diabetes mellitus was raised from 140/90 mm Hg to 150/90 mm Hg. However, the committee was not unanimous in this decision, particularly because a large proportion of adults ≥60 years may be at hig...
متن کاملBlood pressure control and cardiovascular risk reduction.
The ultimate goal of antihypertensive therapy is cardiovascular risk reduction. As lowering blood pressure per se reduces risk for myocardial infarction only by 20%-25%, it is obvious that a better protection is needed. An optimal strategy to reduce risk in hypertensives may include lifestyle modification, promotion of adherence to therapy, early and aggressive target levels achievement by appr...
