Sodium sensitivity and cardiovascular events in patients with essential hypertension

Reads0

TLDR
Cardiovascular events occurred more frequently in patients with sodium-sensitive hypertension, and Cox's proportional-hazards model identified sodium sensitivity, mean arterial pressure, and smoking as independent cardiovascular risk factors.

Links between dietary salt intake, renal salt handling, blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases.

TL;DR: Chronic exposure to a high-salt diet appears to be a major factor involved in the frequent occurrence of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in human populations.

Salt Sensitivity, Pulse Pressure, and Death in Normal and Hypertensive Humans

TL;DR: Long-term follow-up of normotensive salt-sensitive subjects in whom assessment of salt sensitivity of blood pressure was performed as long as 27 years ago provides unique evidence of a relationship between salt sensitivity and mortality that is independent of elevated blood pressure.

Sodium Restriction Shifts Circadian Rhythm of Blood Pressure From Nondipper to Dipper in Essential Hypertension

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that diuretics can restore nocturnal blood pressure decline in a manner similar to sodium restriction, which suggests that the kidneys and sodium metabolism may play important roles in the genesis of the circadian rhythm of blood pressure.

Prognostic Implications of Echocardiographically Determined Left Ventricular Mass in the Framingham Heart Study

TL;DR: The estimation of left ventricular mass by echocardiography offers prognostic information beyond that provided by the evaluation of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and it is concluded that an increase in left Ventricular mass predicts a higher incidence of clinical events, including death, attributable to cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of Left Ventricular Mass and Geometry to Morbidity and Mortality in Uncomplicated Essential Hypertension

TL;DR: Echocardiographically determined left ventricular mass and geometry stratify risk in patients with essential hypertension independently of and more strongly than blood pressure or other potentially reversible risk factors and may help to stratify the need for intensive treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin resistance in essential hypertension

TL;DR: Results provide preliminary evidence that essential hypertension is an insulin-resistant state and insulin resistance involves glucose but not lipid or potassium metabolism, is located in peripheral tissues but not the liver, is limited to nonoxidative pathways of intracellular glucose disposal, and is directly correlated with the severity of hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ambulatory blood pressure. An independent predictor of prognosis in essential hypertension.

TL;DR: It is suggested that ambulatory blood pressures stratifies cardiovascular risk in essential hypertension independent of clinic blood pressure and other traditional risk markers including echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy.
Book

Hypertension : pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management

TL;DR: This book discusses Hypertension: Definitions, Natural Histories, and Consequences, and the role of Dietary Protein in Hypertensive Disease: The Japanese Experience: Clinical Implications, which focused on the case of Yukio Yamori.
