Impact of prehypertension on left ventricular structure, function and geometry.
BACKGROUND Awareness of prevalence, determinants, and prognosis of asymptomatic untreated prehypertension is still lacking especially in India and subcontinent. The present study was to assess the effects of prehypertension on structure, function and geometrical pattern of left ventricle on the basis of left ventricular mass (LVM), left ventricular mass indexed to height (LVMI/Ht), and relative...
متن کاملImpact of Prehypertension on Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness
Background: Recent evidence supports that the prehypertension is associated with target organ damage, though there is lack of information regarding common carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) in prehypertensive individuals. We aimed to study the role of prehypertension in target organ damage in the form of CIMT. Methods: Carotid CIMT was measured by B-mode ultrasonography by an experien...
متن کاملPrehypertension revisited.
The Seventh Joint National Committee on the Prevention, Detection, Evaluation and Treatment of Hypertension (JNC-7) introduced the term “prehypertension” to designate individuals whose systolic blood pressure (BP) levels are in the range of 120 to 139 mm Hg and diastolic BP between 80 and 89 mm Hg.1,2 The decision to establish this new BP category was based on a number of factors. Several studi...
متن کاملEditorial: Statistics and computing: Having an impact
We all have a sense of which are the premier research journals and which are secondary or tertiary. Long established journals such as the journals of the Royal Statistical Society, the American Statistical Association, Biometrika, the Association for Computing Machinery, IEEE, and so on, have come to define the nature of the disciplines they advocate. They have a stature to match their longevit...
متن کاملManagement of prehypertension.
A58-year-old woman is evaluated by her primary care physician, her gynecologist, or at employee health. On 2 separate occasions, duplicate seated blood pressure (BP) measurements average 132/84 mm Hg. She is informed that she has “prehypertension.” At her last check-up in 2002, she had a similar reading but was told she had normal BP. The BP category “prehypertension” was first introduced by th...
