Clinical Evaluation of the Polygenetic Background of Blood Pressure in the Population-Based Setting.

Hypertension
Alice GiontellaOlle Melander

Abstract

The clinical value of the polygenetic component of blood pressure (BP) is commonly questioned. We evaluated a genetic risk score for BP (BP-GRS858), based on the most recently published genome-wide association studies variants that were significantly associated with either systolic BP or diastolic BP, for prediction of hypertension and cardiovascular end points. The genotyping was performed in 2 urban-based prospective cohorts: the Malmö Diet and Cancer (n=29 295) and the Malmö Preventive Project (n=9367) and a weighted BP-GRS858 based on 858 SNPs was calculated. At baseline, we found a difference of 9.0 mm Hg (systolic BP) and 4.8 mm Hg (diastolic BP) between the top and the bottom quartile of BP-GRS858. In Malmö Preventive Project, the top versus bottom quartile of BP-GRS858 was associated with a doubled risk of incident hypertension (odds ratio, 2.05 [95% CI, 1.75-2.39], P=1.4×10-21), a risk higher than that of body mass index, as evaluated in quartiles. In Malmö Diet and Cancer, significant association was found between the age and sex-adjusted BP-GRS858 and the incidence of total cardiovascular events, stroke, coronary artery disease, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and total mortality. Most of these associations remai...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
