Hypertension-A Challenge to Modern Medicine
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in adults and one of the main reasons for morbidity. Hypertension is one of the most important modifiable risk factors of cardiovascular disease and in India; it is the leading non communicable disease and estimated to be attributable for nearly 10 percent of all deaths [1]. Adult hypertension prevalence has risen dramatically over the past three decades from 5 per cent to between 20-40 percent in urban areas and 12-17 per cent in rural areas [2,3].

Association between Genetic Variants of Nitric Oxide/cGMP Pathway and Susceptibility to Hypertension in Kermanshah Province
Background and purpose: Hypertension is a global health challenge due to its high prevalence and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is a multifactorial disease in which both genetic and environmental factors are involved. So far, a number of genes and pathways have been proposed to be associated with HTN, including the nitric oxide/cGMP pathway. To further clarify the role of NO /cGM...
متن کاملIdentifying Factors Associated With Hypertension Using Structural Equation Modeling: A Population-Based Study
Objectives: Hypertension is a global major health challenge and mechanisms related to the risk factors associated with it are poorly understood. Therefore, we used structural modeling to test a hypothesized model to identify factors associated with hypertension. Methods: A cross-sectional population based survey, was performed and the data related to a random representative sample of 9704 sub...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is characterized by a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors that include: abdominal obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance. Recent genome wide association studies have identified several susceptibility regions involved in lipid metabolism that are also associated with MetS. We have explored the association of 9 genetic ...

Background :Hypertension is an important public-health challenge worldwide. The prevalence of hypertension greatly varies across countries. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of self-reported hypertension and to determine related factors in a large random sample of Tehran population in 2011. Methods : In this cross sectional study, 69173 individuals aged 25–64 years were s...
متن کاملRisk factors of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB): Avicenna’s Viewpoint
Tuberculosis (TB) has always been represented as a constant and serious public health challenge throughout human history due to its intensive epidemiological, clinical, and social implications. Risk factors for TB are very important and lack of attention to these parameters can lead to poor therapeutic results. The risk factors for TB in various studies in modern medicine are described. Avicenn...
