Arterial Hypertension, Atrial Fibrillation, and Hyperaldosteronism
Atrial fibrillation (AF) involves 1% to 2% of the adult general population, a rate that increases to 15% in those 80 years and above. Because of the aging of the general population, this epidemic of AF is expected to increase over the next decades and to impose an increasing burden on the healthcare system because of the need for life-long care and pharmacological treatment. Identification of t...
متن کاملClarification of hypertension – Diagnosis of primary hyperaldosteronism
Primary hyperaldosteronism (PH) is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Apart from hypertension, hypokalaemia was hitherto considered to be the classical cardinal symptom. Its presence was therefore also usually a prerequisite for further diagnostic clarification in respect of PH. However, numerous new studies in normokalaemic hypertension patients now show that serum potassium leve...
متن کاملThe Effect of Telmisartan on Endothelial Function and Arterial Stiffness in Patients With Essential Hypertension
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Several studies have shown that angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) improve endothelial function and arterial stiffness. Telmisartan is a highly selective ARB that activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of telmisartan, such as endothelial function, arterial stiffness, and insulin...

متن کاملTelmisartan improves endothelial function in patients with essential hypertension.
BACKGROUND : Hypertension is a cardiovascular risk factor commonly associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased renal vascular resistance. Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) may beneficially affect these parameters via antagonism of angiotensin type 1 (AT1) receptor-mediated vasoconstriction and vascular superoxide production. We therefore investigated whether the new ARB telmisartan...
