Coronary Risk Factors and Ambulatory Blood Pressure and Heart Rate in Asian Indians
Wang and co-workers reported on ethnic differences in ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in African Americans compared to people of European origin [1]. Data on ABP and heart rate (HR) on American Indians and Asian Indians could have made this study even more interesting [2]. Details on diet and lifestyle factors also appear to be important for mapping circadian changes in blood pressure (BP) in p...
متن کاملCommentary: risk factors or social causes?
In many industrialized countries, there has been a welcome decline in coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality. In England and Wales, this has progressed for two decades.1 Many would like to take the credit for this decline, but the reasons for it are not entirely clear. Contributors to the decline are likely to include reductions in smoking, dietary change—but not the increase in obesity—and imp...

متن کاملHypertension, blood pressure, and heart rate variability: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.
Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system has been implicated in the development of hypertension. Heart rate variability is a noninvasive tool to quantitatively estimate cardiac autonomic activity and has been used to document decreased cardiac autonomic activity in hypertension. The ability of decreased heart rate variability to predict incident hypertension has not been well studied, and ...
متن کاملBlood pressure response to heart rate during exercise test and risk of future hypertension.
Previous works have shown that exaggerated blood pressure response to exercise is a valid risk marker for future hypertension, yet the use of an exercise test as a means of early prediction of hypertension still requires methodological development and confirmation. The purpose of this study was to determine abnormal ranges of blood pressure responses in relation to heart rate increase during ex...
