  2. 6. Proteomic, metabolomic, and microbiome studies of blood pressure

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

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

  4. 7. Effect of antihypertensive treatment at different blood pressure levels

    Abstract : BackgroundHigh blood pressure is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. The shape of association between blood pressure and the risk of cardiovascular events is debated. Some researchers suggest that the association is linear or log-linear, whereas others suggest it is J-shaped. READ MORE

  5. 8. Blood pressure, blood pressure development and potential risk factors for hypertension with special reference to metabolic factors and kidney function

    Abstract : Objectives: The overall aim of this thesis was to search for predictors of blood pressure development with special reference to anthropometric, metabolic and renal function variables.Study populations and methods: Two large long-term prospective population studies, The Population Study of Women in Gothenburg, Sweden carried out since 1968-69, with 1462 women between 38 and 60 years old at baseline and 24 year follow-up, and The Reykjavik Study, Iceland, which started in 1967 with an initial participation of 8285 men and 9183 women in various age groups.

  6. 9. Blood pressure in atrial fibrillation

    Author : Joakim Olbers; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and premature death. Prevalence of hypertension in the adult population in Sweden has been estimated to 27%. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia of clinical relevance with an estimated prevalence of at least 2.9% among adults in Sweden. READ MORE

  7. 10. Vitamin D and blood pressure

    Author : Ann Burgaz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The physiological function of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is to maintain serum calcium range that supports skeletal system. Evidence is mounting that vitamin D has beneficial effects on other important functions in tissues not primarily related to mineral metabolism. READ MORE
