Ethnicity and left ventricular diastolic function in hypertension an ASCOT (Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial) substudy.
OBJECTIVES We investigated whether diastolic function differs between hypertensive patients of African-Caribbean or white European origin and established whether differences could be explained by confounding variables. BACKGROUND African Caribbeans are known to have a higher prevalence of heart failure than white Europeans but it is unclear whether this is a result of known risk factors. Tiss...
متن کاملThe Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial: implications and further outcomes.
A t a meeting of the European Blood Pressure Group held in Madonna di Campiglio, Italy, in the spring of 1988, concern was expressed that there were no plans to evaluate the long-term efficacy of newer classes of blood pressure– lowering drugs, including the calcium channel blockers and the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, in morbidity and mortality outcome trials. These drugs were bei...
متن کاملBaseline heart rate, antihypertensive treatment, and prevention of cardiovascular outcomes in ASCOT (Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial).
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of baseline heart rate on the efficacy of atenolol-based compared with amlodipine-based therapy in patients with hypertension uncomplicated by coronary heart disease in the ASCOT-BPLA (Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial-Blood Pressure Lowering Arm). BACKGROUND Heart rate is an established risk factor for cardiovascular events....
متن کاملAnglo-Scandinavian cardiac outcomes trial--lipid lowering arm.
OBJECTIVE Older patients experience higher rates of cardiovascular disease than younger patients, but may be undertreated with statins due to doubts about efficacy and safety. The Lipid-Lowering Arm of the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial allowed an evaluation of the efficacy and safety of atorvastatin among older (≥ 65 years) and younger (<65 years) patients with hypertension. METHO...
متن کاملDifferential effects of antihypertensive treatment on left ventricular diastolic function: an ASCOT (Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial) substudy.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that an amlodipine-based regimen would have more favorable effects on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. BACKGROUND Different antihypertensive therapies may vary in their effect on LV diastolic function. METHODS The HACVD (Hypertension Associated Cardiovascular Disease) substudy of ASCOT (Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial) collected detailed cardiov...
