Editorial Commentary Hypertension, Sleep Apnea, and Atherosclerosis
Having obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) increases the relative odds of also having coronary artery disease by 27% and of having suffered a stroke by 58%.1 Approximately 50% of individuals with OSA are also hypertensive, and those who are not initially so have an 3-fold increase in their likelihood of developing hypertension after 4 years if their apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is 15 events per hour.2–...
متن کاملHypertension and atherosclerosis.
I T APPEARS increasingly likely that no single agent will be identified as the sole cause of atherosclerosis. However, of the various known contributing factors which may influence the course of the disease, hypertension appears to be the most important. Despite the present emphasis on disorders of lipid metabolism the fact remains that neither hypercholesterolemia nor hypertriglyceridemia is e...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis Complicating Chronic Hypertension
The accelerating effect of hypertension on atherogenesis in the aorta and iliofemoral and coronary arteries is presented here as a graded function of elevated intraarterial pressure. Predilection of the abdominal aorta and iliofemoral arteries for atherosclerosis can be explained on the basis of pressure augmentation by reflected pressure pulse waves and the increase in hydrostatic pressure tha...
متن کاملHypertension and cerebral atherosclerosis.
This study consisted of an analysis of autopsy material from 3,824 persons who were 30 years of age or older in whom the arterial circle of Willis was scored for the severity and extent of atherosclerosis. Several criteria were used for hypertension. These consisted of the heart weight, the clinical diagnosis of hypertension, and the blood pressure. Regardless of which criterion was used, a def...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis and hypertension.
Autopsy studies of atherosclerosis of the aorta and the coronary arteries were carried out in 3134 subjects with essential hypertension. A comparison was made with low, average, and high atherosclerosis groups. Essential hypertension was found to accelerate the development of all types of aortic lesion, except fatty streak, as compared with the standardized average atherosclerosis group, and to...
