Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac remodeling and diastolic dysfunction precede non mi-related heart failure in high-risk hypertensive patients: the life echo substudy.

TL;DR: The last echocardiographic exam performed before the HF event showed a significant reduction in relative wall thickness and a mild increase in LV diameter and a significant increase in mitral E/A ratio paired with shortening of the IVRT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased peripheral catecholamine release in patients with long-standing, untreated essential hypertension.

TL;DR: Both arterial and venous plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline concentrations were elevated in 20 middle-aged men with long-standing, untreated essential hypertension compared to 19 normotensive control men, consistent with raised adrenal adrenaline release and release of norADrenaline from the peripheral vascular beds of the forearm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term survival in the randomized trial of drug treatment in mild to moderate hypertension of the Oslo study 1972–3

TL;DR: Drug treatment of mild hypertensive men initiated in the 1970s did not reduce mortality at first myocardial infarction or total mortality, however, during the period when large changes in hypertension treatment practices occurred into regimes with more use of combination therapies including metabolically neutral drugs at lower doses, beneficial effects on MI mortality could be observed.
