BACKGROUND Hypertension and dyslipidemia are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease, accounting for the highest morbidity and mortality among the Bangladeshi population. The objective of this study was to determine the association between serum lipid profiles in hypertensive patients with normotensive control subjects in Bangladesh. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out among...

The aim of this paper was to compare between autonomic regulation of the heart rate and it's variability within 100 essential hypertensive patients and 100 examinees in healthy control group. Essential hypertensive patients had significantly shorter average RR interval, that is, faster heart frequency then the control group. Average variability of the heart frequency was statistically considera...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Symmers periportal fibrosis secondary to schistosomiasis is a common cause of portal hypertension worldwide. Data on the prevalence of gastric varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy in this group of patients with portal hypertension is relatively scarce. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of gastric varices and portal hypertensive gastropathy in ...

OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study sought to determine the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factor clusters (CMRFCs) and their effect on BP control among hypertensive patients from 28 US physician practices. METHODS Each participating practice identified a random sample of 150-300 adults aged >or= 18 years diagnosed with hypertension. The primary outcome variable was BP control (BP < 140/...

The effects of exercise training on baroreflex control of sympathetic nerve activity in human hypertension are unknown. We hypothesized that exercise training would improve baroreflex control of muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) and heart rate (HR) in patients with hypertension and that exercise training would reduce MSNA and blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive patients. Twenty never-tre...

BACKGROUND An increased risk for life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden death has been observed in hypertensive patients, associated with either left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) or prolonged QT interval. To investigate the influence of autonomic imbalance and LVH on QT interval in hypertensive patients, we compared two different models of LVH: hypertension and endurance physical training. ...

1. Resting plasma dopamine B-hydroxylase (DBH) activity and haemodynamic parameters were studied in untreated borderline (twenty-nine) and permanent (twenty-seven) essential hypertensive patients. DBH was also measured in sixty-three apparently healthy subjects. 2. Mean DBH values were not significantly different between the groups. 3. Cardiac output, cardiopulmonary blood volume and the cardio...

Objective: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is the most common target organ damage in hypertension. However, the association of LVH and circadian rhythm of blood pressure (BP) is unknown. The objective of the present study was to explore the relationship between circadian rhythm of BP and LVH using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Study design: A total of 325 untreated hypertensiv...

Objective: To determine the effects of Sitagliptin on pre-hypertensive type-2 diabetes mellitus patients.&#x0D; Methods: This Quasi-Experimental study was conducted at Medical inpatient and outpatient department Diabetic Clinic Mayo Hospital, Lahore, from February 2019 till January 2020. A total 146 patients were included in study. Blood pressure (BP) recorded baseline then 3, 6 12 months treat...
