“What should my bloodpressure be?” The problem is that high bloodpressure is not some obscure risk that only impacts a small percentage of the population. The problem is that high bloodpressure is not some obscure risk that only impacts a small percentage of the population.
High bloodpressure is one of the biggest killers on the planet. Most people do not know when they have high bloodpressure. Managing bloodpressure is about getting good data. Most people, if they are lucky, have their bloodpressure measured in their doctors’ office once a year.
BloodPressure High bloodpressure is the risk factor responsible for the greatest number of deaths worldwide 2. For every 20mmHg increase in systolic (Top Number) bloodpressure, the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke doubles 3. Bloodpressure is easy to check. What’s yours?
We do a terrible job of identifying and managing high bloodpressure. And we still do an awful job of identifying and managing high bloodpressure. As a risk factor for death, high bloodpressure is responsible for more deaths than any other risk factor, including smoking. What Is Normal BloodPressure?
“What should my bloodpressure be?” The US President, Franklin D Roosevelt, had his bloodpressure tracked throughout his term in office, and the numbers are pretty stark. Shortly before he died, his bloodpressure was measured at 350/195 mmHg 1. Just good bloodpressure control.
Take a 40-year-old male who is overweight but not obese, has a systolic bloodpressure of 135 mmHg and an LDL cholesterol of 4.1 If you take the exact same person and now correct their bloodpressure into the 120 mmHg systolic range and measure their Lp(a), which, if elevated, changes the potential outcomes dramatically.
We are learning that risk factors such a high LDL-C, bloodpressure and average blood sugar levels, even in the high normal range, can increase cardiovascular risk. Systolic bloodpressure, even above 90 mmHg, results in higher risk 3. This does not mean we should treat bloodpressure down to this target!
BACKGROUND:The long-term benefit of achieving the Japanese Society of Hypertension home systolic bloodpressure (SBP) target of <125 mm Hg has not been fully evaluated. Findings were similar in the subgroup of high-risk patients (those with diabetes or stroke history).CONCLUSIONS:These
Background:Individuals with poorly controlled bloodpressure (BP) have a heightened risk of stroke and vascular cognitive impairment. Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP240-AWP240, February 1, 2024. BP reduction has been associated with reduced risk of future stroke and cognitive impairment.
Between 2015 and 2022, age-standardized CVD mortality increased in 27 locations, with high burden attributable to metabolic, behavioral, and environmental risks. High systolic bloodpressure stands out as a major risk factor, directly contributing to leading cardiovascular causes of death in LMICs.
He had high bloodpressure and high cholesterol most of his life, and he wasn’t great at taking his tablets.” The same is true of uncontrolled diabetes or high bloodpressure. High bloodpressure is also highly heritable and a major risk factor for early heart disease. 2015 Mar 12;6(1):87-123.
Predictive tools to understand which individuals are most at risk are needed.Methods:We identified a cohort of N=1125 pregnant individuals who delivered between May 2015 and May 2022 at Mass General Brigham Hospitals with available electronic health record data and linked genetic data.
Method This is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive ambulance attendances for non-traumatic shock in Victoria, Australia (January 2015–June 2019) linked with government-held administrative data (emergency, admissions and mortality records). Predictors of 30-day mortality were assessed using Cox proportional regressions.
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy were abstracted from medical records and based on a physician's diagnosis or systolic or diastolic bloodpressure (≥140 or ≥90 mm Hg, respectively) at ≥2 consecutive prenatal visits.
Hypertension was defined as systolic bloodpressure ≥140 mm Hg, diastolic bloodpressure ≥90 mm Hg, or antihypertensive medication use. Participants were grouped according to the date of their National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey study visit (1988–1994, 1999–2004, 2005–2010, 2011–2016).Results:There
Methods Population-based health surveys were performed in 2009 and 2015 and included in total 8961 individuals aged 35–75 years with recorded 12-lead ECG. Anthropometry and bloodpressure were measured. LVH was defined according to three criteria: Sokolow-Lyon, Cornell voltage and Cornell product.
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine 2015; 33(6):786-790. Acute MI per se usually does not depress cardiac function and bloodpressure enough to cause syncope ( Mostafa et al — J Com Hosp Intern Med Perspect 13(4):9-12, 2023 - ). link] So I responded with these words: Smith : "There are QS waves, which suggest old MI.
in 2015, and then increased to 72.9% We defined CKD as a sustained estimated glomerular filtration rate value <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2or a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥30 mg/g. Between 2011 and 2014, the age-adjusted proportion of adults with controlled BP declined from 78.0% by 2019 (Pvalue for linear trend, <0.001).
Introduction:For stroke survivors, bloodpressure (BP) reduction significantly lowers the risk of recurrence; a 10mmHg decrease in systolic BP is associated with a 20% risk reduction. Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A21-A21, February 1, 2025.
We characterized patients with AC-ICH and investigated the relationship between time to treatment and outcome.Methods:We analyzed data from 9492 AC-ICH patients who presented within 24 hours of onset across 465 hospitals reporting any anticoagulation reversal treatment in GWTG-Stroke from 2015 to 2021.
Systemic vascular resistance falls, but slight to moderate increase in bloodpressure can occur due to the increased cardiac output. But there is significant rise in bloodpressure leading to pressure overload to the left ventricle. 2015 Apr;16(4):353. Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging.
With the increasing adoption remote cardiac monitoring, the Heart Rhythm Society released a consensus statement in 2015. We’ve technologically reached the point where we can easily monitor a range of helpful data points, including bloodpressure and glucose, weight, lung capacity and more.
EMS obtained the following vital signs: pulse 50, respiratory rate 16, bloodpressure 96/49. Figure-3: Comparison between ST elevation in lead V3 due to a repolarization variant ( TOP — from 4/27/2019 ) — vs acute OMI ( BOTTOM — from 9/20/2015 ) , which manifests T-QRS-D ( See text ).
The initial bloodpressure was 80/palp with a heart rate of 104, respirations 20, oxygen saturations of 94% and a finger stick blood glucose of 268. In addition, the patient received 750 mL of fluid resuscitation with transient improvement of bloodpressure. 2015 Oct; 66(4):355-362. De Backer D et al.
So, if a patient is concerned about their weight or bloodpressure, treatment needs to be individualized accordingly. [26] New England Journal of Medicine 373.22 (2015): 2117-2128. The Lancet 352.9131 (1998): 837-853. Zinman, Bernard, et al. Empagliflozin, cardiovascular outcomes, and mortality in type 2 diabetes.”
High bloodpressure, high cholesterol, dietary risks and air pollution remain its leading causes. High systolic bloodpressure accounted for the largest contribution to attributable age-standardized CVD disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) at 2,564.9 deaths, followed by intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke.
BloodPressure Control For every 20 mmHg increase in systolic bloodpressure, the risk of dying from heart attack or stroke doubles 3. In general, we do a bad job of identifying and managing high bloodpressure. Excess high bloodpressure is all too common and frequently goes untreated.
Any ED systolic bloodpressure less than 90 or greater than 180 mm Hg (+1) 4. The cost per test affecting diagnosis or management was highest for electroencephalography ($32,973), CT ($24,881), and cardiac enzymes ($22,397) and lowest for postural bloodpressure ($17-$20). h/o heart disease (+1) 3.
I found articles by Di Diego JM & Antzelevitch C ( J Wave Syndromes as a Cause of Malignant Cardiac Arrhythmias Pacing Clin Electrophysiol 41(7): 684-699, 2018 ) and by Ali et al ( Early Repolarization Syndrome: A Cause of Sudden Cardiac Death World J Cardiology 7:466-475, 2015 ) to be insightful.
Her bloodpressure on arrival was 153/69. increasing stenosis, ischemia, volume changes, increased bloodpressure, atrial fibrillation, etc.) Critical AS complicates hemodynamics of the coronary circulation including hemodynamics of collateral flow ( Wiegerinck et al Circ: Cardiovasc Interven 8(8): e002443, 2015 ).
Despite its established role in these pathophysiological processes, the association between sLDH and bloodpressure remains underexplored. sLDH levels were categorized into tertiles, while bloodpressure measurements were conducted under standardized protocols.
