Risk Factor Clustering in Korean Hypertensive Patients
Hypertension infrequently occurs in isolation from other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors; the Framingham heart study showed that hypertension occurs in isolation less than 10%.1) It tends to cluster with other atherogenic risk factors (including dyslipidemia, abdominal obesity and diabetes) that accelerate the clinical CV events. Clustering with two or more major risk factors with hypertension...
متن کاملLipoprotein(a): an emerging cardiovascular risk factor in hypertensive patients
Background: Several novel criteria can improve detection of subclinical atherosclerosis. In particular, the clinical interest has focused on lipoprotein(a), a modified LDL particle which presents a structurally homologue protein to plasminogen. Aim: The aim of our work was to evaluate the levels of lipoprotein(a), in hypertensive patients with or without atherogenic dyslipidemia comparative wit...
متن کاملFood Intake Pattern and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients with Premature Coronary Artery Disease in Iran
Background: There is limited evidence regarding the risk factors and nutritional patterns in patients with premature coronary artery disease (PCAD). This study aims to investigate the relationship between different dietary patterns and risk factors in patients with PCAD. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on PCAD patients, including men younger than 55 years and women younger tha...
متن کاملEndothelial damage and angiogenesis in hypertensive patients: relationship to cardiovascular risk factors and risk factor management.
BACKGROUND Hypertensive patients are at particular risk of cardiovascular complications, possibly related to endothelial damage or dysfunction, or to abnormal angiogenesis. These pathophysiologic processes are assessable by measurement of plasma levels of von Willebrand factor (vWf), and by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its soluble receptor (sFlt-1). We hypothesized that these m...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk assessment in hypertensive patients.
OBJECTIVE to assess cardiovascular risk by means of the traditional Framingham score and the version modified through the incorporation of emerging risk factors, such as family history of acute myocardial infarction, metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease. METHOD participants were 50 hypertensive patients under outpatient treatment. The clinical data were collected through a semi-struc...
