Women s osteoporosis screening results could also aid in the evaluation of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, according to a study by Korean researchers.
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in more than 12,000 women revealed several independent predictors of ASCVD events ASCVD death, myocardial infarction (MI), and ischemic stroke over a median 9.2 years of follow-up, reported Yeonyee Elizabeth Yoon, MD, of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, and colleagues:
Bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine (adjusted HR 1.16 per standard deviation decrease, 95% CI 1.07-1.24)
BMD at the femur neck (adjusted HR 1.29, 95% CI 1.15-1.45)
BMD of total hip (adjusted HR 1.38, 95% CI 1.25-1.53)
E-Mail Most detailed study to date including 345,000 people from 48 randomised clinical trials finds that blood pressure-lowering medication is effective in adults regardless of starting blood pressure level. Each 5mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure lowered the relative risk of cardiovascular events by around 10%, even in people with normal blood pressure and those who had never had a heart attack or stroke. Authors call for global guidelines to be changed so that anyone with increased risk of cardiovascular disease is considered for blood-pressure lowering medication, irrespective of their blood pressure.
Blood pressure-lowering medication can prevent serious cardiovascular conditions such as strokes, heart failure and heart attacks even in adults with normal blood pressure, according to new research published in
Many more people could benefit from blood pressure-lowering medication – study
Many more people could benefit from blood pressure-lowering medication, according to a study (Anthony Devlin/PA)
Blood pressure-lowering medication may prevent serious conditions such as strokes, heart failure and heart attacks even in adults with normal blood pressure, new research suggests.
The benefits of treatment were similar regardless of the starting blood pressure level, in both people who had previously had a heart attack or stroke and in those who had never had heart disease, the study found.
Researchers say the findings have immediate and important implications for global clinical guidelines that typically limit blood pressure-lowering treatment to individuals with high blood pressure.
All adults could cut heart attack risk with daily blood pressure pill, study finds
29 April 2021 • 11:30pm
All adults would benefit from taking a daily blood pressure pill to reduce their risk of heart attack and stroke, a study has found.
The major review by Oxford University concluded that reducing blood pressure was protective even when it is within what is considered to be the healthy range.
In what is being described as a paradigm shift , the review found that one daily dose reduced the risk of serious cardiovascular disease by around 10 per cent. The results were the same regardless of an individual s blood pressure to start with.
