Prognostic value of combined target-organ damage in patients with essential hypertension.
BACKGROUND Whether the combination of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) affects the cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients with uncomplicated hypertension is poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of LVH, CKD, and their combination on CV events in hypertension. METHODS This study analyzed 1,078 patients with essential hypertension....
متن کاملTarget Organ Damage in Essential Hypertension
Epidemiological data suggests that hypertension remains a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease in Western countries. The prevalence of the disease among adults in Slovenia aged 25–64 years is between 40–50% (CINDI, 2006). The early detection and severity of typical target organ damage and secondary diseases are key determinants of cardiovascular prognosis in patients sufferin...
متن کاملComparison of target organ damage in renovascular and essential hypertension.
In many reports, the prevalence of target organ damage in renovascular hypertension (RVH) appears to be higher than in essential hypertension (EH). Since in most studies the renal artery stenosis is part of a diffuse atherosclerotic disease, it is not known whether these complications are due to RVH itself or to the vascular disease. We have undertaken a case control study of 92 patients divide...
متن کاملSerum uric acid and target organ damage in essential hypertension
BACKGROUND Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular mortality, as it acts through its effects on target organs, such as the heart and kidneys. Hyperuricemia increases cardiovascular risk in patients with hypertension. OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between serum uric acid and target organ damage (left ventricular hypertrophy and microalbuminuria) in untreated patients with...
متن کاملRelationships of Inflammatory Factors and Risk Factors with Different Target Organ Damage in Essential Hypertension Patients
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis (AS) is an inflammatory disease. Inflammation was considered to play a role in the whole process of AS. This study aimed to analyze the relationships of inflammatory factors and risk factors with different target organ damages (TOD) in essential hypertension (EH) patients and to explore its clinical significance. METHODS A total of 294 EH patients were selected and ...
