factors or disease or those found to have hypertension, renal dysfunction, or echocardiographic abnormalities. This we feel would leave very few, if any, subjects with important silent CAD. Furthermore, whether such subjects, if present, would have had raised NTpBNP levels is unclear, with no prior study analysing NTpBNP levels in subjects with asymptomatic CAD. Indeed, the paper by Kragelund e...

متن کاملManagement of High Blood Pressure in Those without Overt Cardiovascular Disease Utilising Absolute Risk Scores
Increasing blood pressure has a continuum of adverse risk for cardiovascular events. Traditionally this single measure was used to determine who to treat and how vigorously. However, estimating absolute risk rather than measurement of a single risk factor such as blood pressure is a superior method to identify who is most at risk of having an adverse cardiovascular event such as stroke or myoca...
