Abstract

Hypertension is associated with cardiovascular organ damage. However, data are scanty on whether individual forms or combinations of subclinical target organ damage (TOD) increase the risk of incident hypertension in nonhypertensive study participants. A total of 1785 nonhypertensive participants from the fourth biennial examination (2007-2008) of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study were followed-up for four years. Echocardiographic left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, LV diastolic dysfunction, increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) were defined according to the current guidelines. During 4-year follow-up, 19.9% of participants developed hypertension. In multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, the adjusted hazard ratios for developing hypertension were 1.39, 1.66, 1.48, and 0.78 for higher values of the LV mass index, cIMT, baPWV, and tissue Doppler e' velocity, respectively (all P < 0.01). The hazard ratios for LV hypertrophy, LV diastolic dysfunction, cIMT >75th percentile, and baPWV ≥ 1400 cm/s were 1.61, 1.30, 1.86, and 2.07, respectively (all P < 0.05). Compared with participants without any TOD, those with combinations of TOD types had significantly greater...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.

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.

Carotid Artery Diseases

Carotid artery disease is a group of pathological conditions of the carotid artery. Discover the latest research on carotid artery disease here.

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 Reduction

Prevention of cardiovascular disease is an important health initiative. Risk reduction including physical activity, smoking cessation, diet, blood pressure lowering drugs and pharmacotherapy. Here is the latest research on cardiovascular risk reduction.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action here.
