Arterial Stiffness Predicts Incident Atrial Fibrillation in the Framingham Heart Study: A Mechanistic Contribution in People With High Blood Pressure or History of Hypertension

TL;DR: It is confirmed in a slightly different type of population that left ventricular hypertrophy is a strong predictor of AF, and suggests that AF is in most cases a typical complication of hypertension, and even more so than stroke or heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex differences in essential hypertension.

TL;DR: A group of 41‐year‐old hypertensive men and women who had never received treatment for their condition were compared with hypertensive women of the same age, finding that women with BMI above 25 kg m−2 had significantly lower arterial plasma adrenaline and noradrenaline than those with BMI below 25 kgm−2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Telomere length is associated with ACE I/D polymorphism in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy

TL;DR: Shorter LTL in genotypes DD or ID suggests a negative effect of the D allele on telomere length, which appears to strengthen the association of telomeres length with increased cardiovascular risk in elderly hypertensive subjects with LVH.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Global Burden of Disease Study 2015 and Blood Pressure.

TL;DR: The Global Burden of Disease report concludes that achievement of optimalBlood pressure in the population would yield large potential gains in global health and that study of blood pressure in people younger than 60 years of age is an important area for future investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of diabetes in a real-world setting among patients initiating antihypertensive therapy with valsartan or amlodipine.

TL;DR: This study corroborates the finding from VALUE that diabetes risk is lower for patients who receive valsartan versus amlodipine, and extends this finding to a ‘real-world’ setting.
