The incidence and prevalence of hypertension in the Province of Quebec /

Vallée, Michel. January 2008 (has links)
The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence, incidence and lifetime risk of developing hypertension after a given age in the Province of Quebec. An administrative database was used to form a cohort of 20,000 subjects selected in 1987 from a random sample of individuals aged 45 or older, living in the Province of Quebec. These individuals were followed from 1986 to 2003. Incident cases of essential hypertension were selected on the basis of an outpatient diagnosis of hypertension. The Framingham approach was used to calculate incidence rate. The incidence of hypertension in the Quebec cohort was 22 per 1,000 person-years for men and 31 per 1,000 person-years for women; it was higher for women for all the age groups under study. The lifetime risk of developing hypertension for subjects who attained the age of 46 free of hypertension in the Quebec cohort was 66%; this was 20% higher for women than for men (72% compared with 59%). In the Quebec cohort, the incidence of hypertension is very high particularly for women. The data provide evidence that, in Quebec, detection of hypertension is to be maximized, for both men and women.

Métodos: Revisão sistemática da literatura utilizando a metodologia da Colaboração Cochrane. Estratégia de Busca: As bases pesquisadas foram: MEDLINE (1966-2007), EMBASE (1980-2007), CENTRAL - Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (2007), LILACS (1982-2007), em sites de registros de ensaios clínicos; busca manual em anais de congressos e listas de referências de artigos publicados; contato com companhias farmacêuticas e autores de artigos publicados. Não houve restrição de linguagem. Critérios de Seleção: ensaios clínicos randomizados sobre utilização de fármacos orais ou sublinguais para tratamento de urgências hipertensivas em adultos de ambos os sexos. Os critérios de exclusão foram: ensaios clíncos não randomizados, pré-eclampsia/eclâmpsia, epistaxe não tratável, overdose por fármacos simpatomiméticos, feocromocitoma e emergências hipertensivas. Coleta de dados e análise: a extração de dados e avaliação de qualidade foi feita de acordo com critérios previamente determinados e os resultados foram comparados para determinação do grau de concordância. Avaliação de qualidade foi feita usando os critérios do “Cochrane Handbook” e escores de Jadad. Medidas de desfecho contínuas foram analisadas usando diferenças de médias ponderadas (DMP). Medidas de desfecho dicotômicas foram somadas usando modelo de efeito randômico e os resultados foram expressos como riscos relativos (RR). Resultados: Coletivamente, os 16 ensaios clínicos randomizados identificados incluíram 769 participantes e demonstraram um efeito superior dos inibidores da ECA no tratamento da urgência hipertensiva, avaliada em 223 participantes. Quanto aos efeitos adversos os mais freqüentes para os bloqueadores de canal de cálcio foram cefaléia (35/206), rubor (17/172) e alterações do ritmo cardíaco (14/189); para os inibidores da enzima conversora de angiotensina o efeito colateral mais freqüente foi disgeusia (25/38). Conclusões: Há evidências significantes a favor do uso de inibidores da ECA para o tratamento de urgências hipertensivas, quando comparados os efeitos adversos como cefaléia e rubor. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

"Monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial de pacientes com oclusão do ramo da veia central da retina" / Blood pressure monitoring of branch retinal vein occlusion patients

Rosa, Alexandre Antonio Marques 24 November 2005 (has links)
Avaliou-se a prevalência de hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS) e a variação circadiana da pressão arterial (PA), através da Monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial (MAPA), em pacientes com oclusão do ramo da veia central da retina (ORVCR). Foram avaliados, prospectivamente, 93 casos/olhos de 83 pacientes. A ausência do descenso fisiológico da PA durante o sono ("non-dipper") foi definida como diminuição da pressão sistólica = 10% e a presença de descenso quando este valor fosse maior ("dipper"). Há uma prevalência extremamente alta (94%) de HAS em pacientes com ORVCR. Entre os hipertensos, uma grande parcela dos indivíduos "non-dipper" (n=34; 44,2%). Estas evidências sugerem que um nível mais sustentado de PA nas 24 horas possa ser um fator de risco para o desenvolvimento da ORVCR / Objective: Identifying with Blood pressure monitoring (BPM) in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO): high blood pressure (HBP) prevalence, possible cases of white-coat normotension (WCNT) and variation of circadian blood pressure (BP). Methods: Prospectively, 93 cases/eyes of 83 patients with BRVO were evaluated at Ophthalmological Clinic of "Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo" (HCFMUSP). After that, patients were taken to Hypertension League of Nephrology Chair of HCFMUSP (LH-HCFMUSP) for clinical evaluation and blood pressure monitoring. Non-dipper was defined as a fall in systolic blood pressure = 10%, and dipper when this value was higher

Estudo da associação dos polimorfismos da ECA e do AGT e fenótipos de risco cardiovascular em amostra feminina de Ouro Preto / Study of the associations of the ECA and AGT polymorphism and cardiovascular risk phenotypes in a female sampling in Ouro Preto

Nascimento Neto, Raimundo Marques do 30 August 2007 (has links)
Estudamos a amostra das ouropretanas com prevalência de hipertensão arterial de (52,7%). O objetivo foi descrever os fenótipos sistólico, diastólico e pressão de pulso e correlacionar as variantes genética da ECA e AGT. Os dados sugerem que a prevalência de hipertensão entre elas estão associadas a idade, classe social, escolaridade, hiperglicemia, circunferência da cintura abdominal, e perfil lipídico. O alelo T foi significante com glicemia {p < 0,02 (OR = 2,2)} e cor preta {p < 0,002 (OR = 2,7)} o alelo D com idade {p < 0,01 (OR = 2,2)} e HDL {p < 0,0007 (OR= 1,5)}. O genótipo DD com a idade {p < 0,03 (OR = 0,7)} e HDL {p < 0,008 (OR = 2,0)}. A influência das variantes genéticas da ECA e do AGT tiveram pouco efeito sobre os fenótipos de pressão arterial, mas influenciaram os níveis de colesterol HDL e a glicemia, respectivamente. / We studied the sample of women from Ouro Preto with a prevalence of arterial hypertension of (52,7%). The objective was to describe systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure phenotypes and correlate the ECA and AGT genetic variants. The data suggests that the prevalence of hypertension among them is related to age, social class, schooling, hyperglycemia, abdominal and lipidic profile. The T allele showed significance with glycemia {p < 0.02 (OR = 2.2) and color black {p < 0.002 (OR = 2.7)}. The D allele with age {p < 0.01 (OR = 2.2)} and HDL {p < 0.0007 (OR=1.5)}. The DD genotype with age {p < 0.03 (OR = 0.7)} and HDL {p<O.008 (OR = 2.0)}. Influence of the ECA and AGT genetic variants had little effect on arterial pressure phenotypes, but influenced the levels of HDL cholesterol and the hyperglycemia respectively.
