Prediction and prevention of atrial fibrillation in patients with high blood pressure or history of hypertension.
Sverre E. Kjeldsen,Peter M. Okin +1 more
TL;DR: A large sample size, attention to careful follow-up of patients in the settings of a randomized clinical trial, the wide use of ECG in atrial fibrillation detection and the huge number of incident cases of atrialfibrillation gave large statistical power to assess the predictors of this most common cardiac arrhythmia.
Review article Are fixed-dose combination antihypertensives suitable as first-line therapy?
TL;DR: Earlier use of antihypertensive FDC (including first-line) may help to shrink the current gap between antihyertensive use and BP target control achieved, and suggest that physicians may need to readdress their approach to anti Hypertensive treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between long-term exposure to antihypertensive drugs and risk of cancer: a large population-based retrospective cohort study
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors analyzed the relationship between long-term exposure to antihypertensive drugs and risk of cancer and found that exposure to MRA was associated with a significant increase in cancer at all exposure levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
High mortality explained by mildly elevated blood pressure in Scandinavian adolescent conscripts - A plea for early drug treatment?
TL;DR: A large national study of total mortality, cardiovascular mortality and non-cardiovascular mortality in 1.2 million men in Sweden who underwent military conscription examinations between 1969 and 1995 and were followed for a median of 24 years has recently been reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ingrid Os,Sverre E. Kjeldsen,Arne Westheim,Mary Beth Jackson,Ingvar Aakesson,Per Frederichsen,Paul Leren,Ivar Eide +7 more
TL;DR: Vasopressin was the only pressor hormone which varied directly with sodium intake, blood pressure and body weight during sodium depletion, and it was found that extra potassium induced only small changes when already sodium depleted.
