Lancet ;Aug [Epub ahead of print]. Presented by Dr. Lancet ; Description: The goal of the blood pressure lowering arm of the trial was to evaluate whether treatment with a newer antihypertensive regimen of calcium channel blocker with or without an angiotensin-converting enzyme ACE inhibitor is more effective than an older regimen of beta-blocker with or without a diuretic, and whether it reduces coronary heart disease CHD events in hypertensive patients with relatively low cholesterol levels.
Interpretation: Among patients with hypertension and relatively low cholesterol, a strategy of treatment with amlodipine and perindopril if needed was associated with reductions in many secondary endpoints, including mortality, compared with treatment with the beta-blocker atenolol and the diuretic bendroflumethiazide, prompting the trial to be discontinued early in order to substitute appropriate alternative antihypertensive therapy in the beta-blocker group.

Medical College, Ahmedabad. Vyas is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in cardiovascular disease. Patients see him for various reasons, including cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, and valve disorder.
Vyas encourages his patients to lead healthy lifestyles, thus enabling them to take responsibility for their cardiac health. He takes time to listen to their problems and guides them through the diverse options and treatment plans they can consider. Previous research has shown that people who sleep between seven and eight hours per night live longest, and that especially short or especially long sleep durations bring higher mortality. Researchers find that short and long sleep durations are often seen together with high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and psychological stress -- all risk factors for heart disease and stroke.
Long sleep duration may reflect a compensation for sleep apnea, which the sleep quality survey does not directly address. However, in the META-Health study, people who slept for more than nine hours didn't show significantly higher levels of inflammation markers. In a separate poster, Morris is also presenting research on a difference between men and women in the interaction between sleep quality and arterial stiffness.
Her results show that both men and women with poor sleep quality had higher blood pressures, but only men with poor sleep quality had a higher arterial stiffness, a lack of blood vessel flexibility which drives hypertension and puts more burden on the heart.
