BACKGROUND Hypertension is the most prevalent and modifiable risk factor for atrial fibrillation. The pressure overload in the left atrium induces pathophysiological changes leading to alterations in contractile function and electrical properties. OBJECTIVE In this study our aim was to assess left atrial function in hypertensive patients to determine the association between left atrial functi...

A prospective, hospital based, clinical study was conducted in hypertensive patients referred to the eye OPD, KMCTH, Sinamangal during a period of three months to find out the incidence of fundus changes. A total of 302 hypertensive patients were included in the study and their fundus changes were evaluated by direct ophthalmoscopy. The age of the patients ranged from 30-70 years and the durati...

mild (140 to 159/90 to 99 mmhg) or moderate (160 to 179/100 to 109 mmhg) chronic arterial hypertension does not appear to cause headache. whether moderate hypertension predisposes patients to headache at all remains controversial, but there is little evidence that it does. ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with mild and moderate hypertension has shown no convincing relationship b...

Background: Patients afflicted with myocardial infarction and hypertension are at increased risk of developing arrhythmias due to autonomic imbalance. Heart rate variability, a non invasive analytical measure, can be employed for evaluating the autonomic nervous system. Cigarette smoking increases the possibility of acute cardiac events associated with augmented sympathetic drive and endothelia...

Compliance with taking antihypertensive drugs is low amongst patients hypertension. Uncontrolled blood pressure causes heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes, and stroke. It necessary to have alternative support in controlling by using progressive muscle relaxation exercises. This study aimed determine the effect of on reducing The research design used was a literature sample size 20 journals:...

Despite the high prevalence of hypertension (HTN), only a small proportion of the hypertensive patients will ultimately develop hypertensive crisis. In fact, some patients with hypertensive crisis do not report a history of HTN or previous use of antihypertensive medication. The majority of the patients with hypertensive crisis often report non-specific symptoms, whereas heart-related symptoms ...

apium graveolence has an small brown olyptical seed with pharmacological activity. to evaluate it's application in treatment of hypertension, 37 hypertensive patients (20 female, 17 male) with the age range of 45-65 were given 6 grams of powder of apium graveolence seed and then the blood pressures before and after the remedy were compared. before treatment, the mean systolic blood pressur...
