Target Blood Pressure for Treatment
The guidelines on the management of hypertension released by European and US Task Forces in 2013 and 2014 recommend target blood pressure (BP) levels below 140/90 mm Hg in most hypertensive patients, with higher values (<150/90 mm Hg) in the elderly. However, recent randomized trials as well as new metaanalyses of the available data have obtained results that are not consistent with these recom...
متن کاملDoes Fish Oil Lower Blood Pressure ?
Background. In a meta-analysis of 31 placebo-controlled trials on 1356 subjects, we examined the effect of w-3 fatty acids in fish oil on blood pressure by grouping studies that were similar in fish oil dose, length of treatment, health of the subjects, or study design. Methods and Results. The mean reduction in blood pressure caused by fish oil for the 31 studies was -3.0/-1.5 mm Hg (95% confi...
متن کاملBlood Pressure: The Lower, the Better
Hypertension is one of the major modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. It was recently shown that 7.6 million early deaths and 92 million disabled years are attributed to hypertension (1). Lowering blood pressure (BP) reduces CV morbidity and mortality. The benefit achieved in most hypertension outcomes studies was attributed to BP reduction, and the more aggr...
متن کاملLower Blood Pressure Looks Better and Better
Not much progress has occurred in guidelines to treat blood pressure (BP) during acute stroke since Sir George Pickering wrote in 1968 about cerebral hemorrhage: “Probably diastolic pressures over 110 are worth reducing to 90 mm Hg. This is a guess, and theoretical arguments could be urged against, or for, different figures,” and about ischemic stroke: “There is no evidence that reducing arteri...
متن کاملDoes sodium restriction lower blood pressure?
Data from 13 randomised trials on the effect of sodium restriction on blood pressure were analysed. The hypotensive effect of sodium restriction was found to be small and restricted largely to systolic blood pressure, which fell by an average of 3.6 mm Hg (range 0.5-10.0 mm Hg). The reduction increased with age and in those with higher blood pressure. Sodium restriction therefore seems to be of...
