  4. 2. Renal denervation in patients with resistant hypertension

    Author : Sebastian Völz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Blood pressure; hypertension; Doppler echocardiography; sympathetic nervous system pathophysiology; sympathectomy; autonomic denervation;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND Catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) is a potential modality in the treatment of patients with resistant hypertension (RH). The biological effects of RDN are not fully comprehended and studies examining its impact on blood pressure (BP) and other cardiovascular surrogate markers have generated conflicting results.

However, there is a need for additional and even more efficient tools to prevent this complication of diabetes. READ MORE

  7. 5. Outcomes in treated hypertensive men - a follow-up during three decades

    Author : Torbjörn Almgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Hypertension; Diabetes; Drug treatment; Stroke; Myocardial infarction;

    Abstract : Objectives: To analyse survival, cause specific mortality and cardiovascular morbidity in relation to cardiovascular risk factors, to investigate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and the cardiovascular risk this constitutes and to study systolic blood pressure over time in treated hypertensive men during three decades of follow-up. Subjects and methods: 754 hypertensive men were identified at a screening in Göteborg of a randomly selected group of 10000 men, 47-54 years old, and were treated and followed with annual check-ups at an outpatient clinic during three decades.
