  1. 1. Hypertoniscreening - Tidig upptäckt av högt blodtryck via tandvården

    Författare :Helen Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hypertension; blood pressure; screening; dental healthcare; white-coat hypertension; cost-effectiveness; individuals´ experiences;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Hypertension is the main risk factor for the world’s total disease burden. This is of significance for public health at national level, for healthcare professionals, resource consumption and costs as well as for the individual. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 24-hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure - Relation to the Insulin Resistance Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease

    Författare :Kristina Björklund; Jan Östergren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; hypertension; ambulatory blood pressure; insulin; fatty acids; prognosis; morbidity; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

    Sammanfattning : This study examined relationships between 24-hour ambulatory BP and components of the insulin resistance syndrome, and investigated the prognostic significance of 24-hour BP for cardiovascular morbidity in a longitudinal population-based study of 70-year-old men. The findings indicated, that a reduced nocturnal BP fall, nondipping, was a marker of increased risk primarily in subjects with diabetes. LÄS MER

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Proteomic, metabolomic, and microbiome studies of blood pressure

    Författare :Yi-Ting Lin; Johan Sundström; Martin Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood pressure; hypertension; proteomics; metabolomics; microbiome; molecular epidemiology; Mendelian randomization;

    Sammanfattning : Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and premature death with a substantial global economic burden. To prevent and treat hypertension, it is crucial to improve our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms. Hypertension is a multifactorial condition influenced both by genetic and environmental factors. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Blood pressure, blood pressure variability and myocardial ischemia : studies in patients with peripheral arterial disease and matched control subjects

    Författare :Per Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Peripheral vascular diseases; hypertension drug therapy; ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; coronary artery disease; ambulatory electrocardiography; SPECT; NT-proBNP;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Patients presenting with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) often have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD), which is frequently asymptomatic. Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring improves risk stratification in hypertensive patients beyond that offered by office BP(OBP) measurements. LÄS MER
