  1. 1. Antihypertensive treatment and endothelial vasodilatory function

    Författare :Bengt von zur Mühlen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Hypertension; endothelium; nitric oxide; antihypertensive treatment; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : The endothelium integrates vascular tone by the synthesis of vasoactive substances secreted abluminally to the underlying vascular smooth muscle. Endothelial function has previously been shown to be impaired in primary, secondary and experimental forms of hypertension. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Effect of antihypertensive treatment at different blood pressure levels

    Författare :Mattias Brunström; Bo Carlberg; Mats Eliasson; Sverre Kjeldsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; blood pressure; hypertension; antihypertensive treatment; cardiovascular disease; randomized controlled trial; systematic review; meta-analysis; standardization;

    Sammanfattning : BackgroundHigh blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. The shape of association between blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular events is debated. Some researchers suggest that the association is linear or log-linear, whereas others suggest it is J-shaped. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Antihypertensive medication in clinical practice : Aspects of patient adherence in treatment

    Författare :Karin I. Kjellgren; Kurt Svärdsudd; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Adherence to antihypertensive drug regimens is a well-documented determinant of blood pressure control. A review of the literature shows that little attention has been paid to how antihypertensive medication is managed in clinical practice. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Pharmacogenetic Studies of Antihypertensive Treatment : With Special Reference to the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System

    Författare :Lisa Kurland; Heribert Schunkert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; pharmacogenetics; hypertension; renin-angiotension-aldosterone system; gene polymorphisms; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Hypertension is common and constitutes an increased risk of morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease. Antihypertensive treatment will reduce this risk; the individual patient's response to treatment, however, is difficult to predict. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Hypertension, atherosclerosis and fracture risk - observational investigations with focus on antihypertensive therapy

    Författare :Tove Bokrantz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; epidemiology; hypertension; antihypertensive agents; fractures; peripheral arterial disease; bone density;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: To investigate associations between hypertension, arteriosclerotic disease, and fracture risk in adults and the elderly, with a certain focus on how specific antihypertensive drug treatments in patients with high blood pressure might affect the risk for fractures. Methods and results: In Study I and II, the associations between different antihypertensive treatments and fracture risk were investigated in a cohort of about 60. LÄS MER
