Serum chloride is an independent predictor of mortality in hypertensive patients.
Chloride (Cl-) is the major extracellular anion in the body, accompanying sodium (Na+), and is primarily derived from dietary sources. Data suggest that increased dietary Cl- intake increases blood pressure, yet paradoxically, higher serum Cl- appears associated with lower mortality and cardiovascular risk. This implies that serum Cl- also reflects risk pathways independent of blood pressure, s...
متن کاملAortic stiffness is an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients.
Although various studies reported that pulse pressure, an indirect index of arterial stiffening, was an independent risk factor for mortality, a direct relationship between arterial stiffness and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality remained to be established in patients with essential hypertension. A cohort of 1980 essential hypertensive patients who attended the outpatient hypertension clin...
متن کاملEffect of serum chloride on mortality in hypertensive patients.
Effect of Serum Chloride on Mortality in Hypertensive Patients To the Editor: I have read with interest the large and long follow-up study by McCallum et al1 concerning the risk of low serum chloride on the mortality in 12 968 patients with hypertension. They concluded that an increase of the serum chloride by 1 mEq/L was associated with a 1.5% reduction of the all-cause mortality, cardiovascul...
متن کاملSerum sclerostin is an independent predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients
BACKGROUND Sclerostin (Scl) has recently emerged as a novel marker of bone remodeling and vascular calcification. However, whether high circulating Scl is also a risk factor for death is not well established. The purpose of this study was to test whether serum Scl would be associated with mortality. METHODS we measured serum Scl in a hemodialysis patients' cohort, which was followed during a ...
متن کاملSerum vitamin D in hypertensive patients versus healthy controls, Is there an association?
Background: Both vitamin D deficiency and hypertension are prevalent in the general population. Several observations indicate an association between vitamin D deficiency and high blood pressure. The present case-control study aimed to compare serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) in hypertensive patients versus healthy controls. Methods: One hundred patients aged 30-60 years with hypertension (...
