Lowering of blood pressure and predictors of response in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy: the LIFE study

Reads0

TLDR
The successful lowering of blood pressure during 12 months of follow-up in a large cohort of patients with hypertension and LVH on ECG is demonstrated, but the need for two or more drugs to control high blood pressure in most of these patients is emphasized.

Regression of electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy during antihypertensive treatment and the prediction of major cardiovascular events.

TL;DR: Less-severe electrocardiographic LVH by Cornell product and SokolowLyon voltage criteria during antihypertensive therapy is associated with lower likelihoods of CV morbidity and mortality, independent of blood pressure lowering and treatment modality in persons with essential hypertension.

The impact of serum uric acid on cardiovascular outcomes in the LIFE study

TL;DR: The increase in SUA over 4.8years in the LIFE study was attenuated by losartan compared with atenolol treatment, appearing to explain 29% of the treatment effect on the primary composite end point.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared tight control of blood pressure with less tight control aiming at a blood pressure of <150/85 mm Hg with the use of an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril or a beta blocker atenolol as main treatment.
