Regression of carotid atherosclerosis by control of morning blood pressure peak in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND Morning blood pressure (BP) peak may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Whether morning BP should be a target of hypertension treatment is not known. We investigated the relationship between morning BP variations, carotid internal-medial thickness (CIMT), circulating inflammatory markers, and sympathetic activity in hypertensive patients with different patterns of morning B...
متن کاملHyperglycemia and nocturnal systolic blood pressure are associatedwith left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in hypertensive diabetic patients
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine if hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients, when compared to patients with essential hypertension have an increased left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and a worse diastolic function, and if this fact would be related to 24-h pressoric levels changes. METHODS Ninety-one hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) (group-1 [G1]), 59 e...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in Asymptomatic Black Hypertensive Subjects.
BACKGROUND Hypertension has been established as one of the commonest causes of heart failure especially in sub-Saharan Africa. We have previously observed a high prevalence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in hypertensive heart failure patients in Nigeria despite a low prevalence of ischemic heart disease. The present study was, therefore, undertaken to assess the prevalence of asy...
متن کاملMorning rise in blood pressure is a predictor of left ventricular hypertrophy in treated hypertensive patients.
To assess the relationship between home blood pressure and left ventricular mass, we evaluated cardiac echocardiography in 297 hypertensive subjects (188 men and 109 women; mean age, 62.8+/-10.3 years) who were treated with amlodipine monotherapy over 1 year (mean dose, 5.5+/-2.3 mg/day). The morning hypertension group (n=57; 19.2%), who had a morning home systolic blood pressure (HSBP) > or =1...
متن کاملRelationship of central and peripheral blood pressure to left ventricular mass in hypertensive patients.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to assess the relationship of central and peripheral blood pressure to left ventricular mass. METHODS Cross-sectional study that included 392 never treated hypertensive individuals. Measurement of office, 24-h ambulatory, and central blood pressure (obtained using applanation tonometry) and determination of left ventricular mass...
