Abstract

Hypertension may be the most significant cardiovascular risk factor. Few studies have assessed the prognostic value of echocardiography in hypertensive individuals. This study examines the incremental prognostic value of adding echocardiographic parameters to established risk factors in individuals from the general population with and without hypertension. A total of 1294 individuals from the general population underwent a health examination and an echocardiogram including 2-dimensional speckle tracking. Outcome was a composite of ischemic heart disease and heart failure. The prevalence of hypertension was 38.3%. During a median follow-up of 12.5 years (interquartile range, 9.4-12.8 years), 222 participants (17.2%) developed the outcome. Out of these 222 events, 145 (65%) occurred in hypertensive participants, whereas 77 (35%) occurred in nonhypertensive individuals, corresponding to an incidence rate of 32/(1000×person-years) and 8/(1000×person-years), respectively. Follow-up was 100%. After multivariable adjustment, only left ventricular mass index predicted the outcome in hypertensive individuals, whereas only global longitudinal strain predicted the outcome in nonhypertensive individuals. In hypertensive individuals the pro...Continue Reading

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.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Cardiovascular Risk Prediction

Cardiovascular risk prediction models based on classical risk factors identified in epidemiological studies are useful in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in individuals. Here is the latest research.
