Intensive Blood Pressure Treatment Does Not Improve Cardiovascular Outcomes in Centrally Obese Hypertensive Individuals With Diabetes
OBJECTIVE The Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) Blood Pressure Trial reported no differences in most cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes between intensive and standard blood pressure therapy in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension. Many such individuals are centrally obese. Here we evaluate whether the trial outcomes varied by the level of central ...
متن کاملAltitude Does Not Reduce Concussion Incidence
Authors’ Response: Thank you for allowing us to respond to the Letter to the Editor regarding our recently published study titled ‘‘Altitude Modulates Concussion Incidence Implications for Optimizing Brain Compliance to Prevent Brain Injury in Athletes.’’ We agree with the author of the letter that this published study presents important findings that have the potential to influence the science...
متن کاملBlood pressure load does not add to ambulatory blood pressure level for cardiovascular risk stratification.
Experts proposed blood pressure (BP) load derived from 24-hour ambulatory BP recordings as a more accurate predictor of outcome than level, in particular in normotensive people. We analyzed 8711 subjects (mean age, 54.8 years; 47.0% women) randomly recruited from 10 populations. We expressed BP load as percentage (%) of systolic/diastolic readings ≥135/≥85 mm Hg and ≥120/≥70 mm Hg during day an...
متن کاملContinuous positive airway pressure does not reduce blood pressure in nonsleepy hypertensive OSA patients.
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Several randomised controlled trials have shown that continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment of OSA reduces blood pressure (BP). This randomised, sham-placebo controlled crossover trial assesses whether CPAP produces a similar clinically significant fall in BP in hypertensive OSA patients...
متن کاملDoes Ginkgo biloba reduce the risk of cardiovascular events?
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) was a preplanned secondary outcome of the Ginkgo Evaluation of Memory Study. The trial previously reported that Ginkgo biloba had no effect on the primary outcome, incident dementia. METHODS AND RESULTS The double-blind trial randomly assigned 3069 participants over 75 years of age to 120 mg of G biloba EGb 761 twice daily or placebo. Mean follow-up was...
