Dairy consumption and hypertension: arterial stiffness and pulse pressure.
Dairy Consumption and Hypertension: Arterial Stiffness and Pulse Pressure To the Editor: We read with interest the meta-analysis of dairy consumption and hypertension by Soedamah-Muthu et al1 in the November 2012 issue of Hypertension. Using a stringent set of exclusionary criteria, a literature consisting of 1709 unique prospective studies of dairy and milk consumption was reduced to 9 studies...
متن کاملPulse pressure, arterial stiffness, and drug treatment of hypertension.
Epidemiological studies in the past decade have stressed the importance of pulse pressure as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We briefly review the epidemiological evidence and discuss in more detail the pathophysiological basis for this observation and the therapeutic consequences. We focus on the vascular determinants of increased pulse pressure. Both lon...
متن کاملCorrelation between Hyperlipidemia and Hypertension, Mean Arterial Pressure, Pulse Pressure among Africans
The diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia by genetic testing is hampered by its cost and effectiveness [1] in many parts of the world including Africa. Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common cause of premature cardiovascular disease and is often undiagnosed in young people [2]. The principal metabolic causes of atherosclerosis include hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, insulin ...
متن کاملArterial stiffness, pulse pressure, and the kidney.
Classical studies indicate that the contribution of kidneys to hypertension is almost exclusively related to the association between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and vascular resistance. Recent reports including estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have shown that pulse pressure (PP) and pulse wave velocity, 2 major indices of arterial stiffness, now emerge as significant predictors of...
متن کاملCurrent perspectives on arterial stiffness and pulse pressure in hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
Blood pressure (BP) is a powerful cardiovascular (CV) risk factor that acts on the arterial wall and is responsible in part for various CV events, such as cerebrovascular accidents and ischemic heart disease. In clinical practice, 2 specific and arbitrary points of the BP curve, peak systolic BP (SBP) and end-diastolic BP (DBP), are used to define the CV risk factor. Because the goal of drug tr...
