  1. 6. Self-management in hypertension care

    Författare :Ulrika Bengtsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adherence; blood pressure; cellular phone; communication; health information technology; hypertension; person-centered care; person-centred care; self-management;

    Sammanfattning : Despite effective treatment strategies for hypertension, many persons with hypertension still fail to reach recommended blood pressure targets. As hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, measures are needed to decrease the mortality attributed to this condition and to facilitate an optimization of hypertension management.

  3. 7. Economic evaluation of hypertension treatment

    Författare :Magnus Johannesson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic evaluation; hypertension; cost-benefit analysis; cost-effectiveness analysis; the contingent valuation method; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on economic evaluation of hypertension treatment.The purpose of the study was threefold: to calculate the costs ofhypertension treatment at an individual and a national level; to analyse the importance of different methodological issues for the cost-effectiveness of hypertension treatment; and to test the contingent valuation (CV) method in this field.

  4. 8. Hypertension in a defined population. The Skaraborg Hypertension and Diabetes Project

    Författare :Erik Bøg-Hansen; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Socialmedicin; samhällsmedicin; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Social medicine; Cardiovascular system; sekretion; diabetologi; diabetology; Endokrinologi; secreting systems; Endocrinology; primary care.; treatment; survival; cardiovascular disease risk factors; insulin resistance; Hypertension; type 2 diabetes;

    Sammanfattning : To examine cardiovascular disease risk factors, control of hypertension and survival in patients with hypertension treated in primary care, patients with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes were surveyed for cardiovascular disease risk factors and treatment 1992-1993. For reference, a random population sample from the same community was surveyed 1993-1994. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation in essential hypertension

    Författare :Jonas Millgård; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; endothelium; hypertension; human; blood pressure; vasodilation; ACE-inhibition; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Internal Medicine; invärtesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : The vascular endothelium plays a crucial role in the regulation of several homeostatic parameters in the circulation. In this thesis, the influences of essential hypertension and antihypertensive agents on endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDV) were evaluated in the human forearm circulation. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Genetic Factors Contributing to Hypertension. With Emphasis on Hypertension in Type 2 Diabetes

    Författare :Kristina Bengtsson Boström; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; primary care; genetics; Hypertension; type 2 diabetes;

    Sammanfattning : The causes of hypertension (HT) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) are mainly unknown, but they arise from interplay between several genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this thesis was to investigate whether polymorphisms in putative candidate genes for HT increase the susceptibility to HT and/or T2DM. LÄS MER
