Urate-lowering therapy benefits do not extend to young hypertensives

07 Apr 2021

Among young adults with hypertension, treatment with the urate-lowering drug allopurinol appears to improve endothelial function, although this does not translate to meaningful reductions in blood pressure or inflammation levels, as shown in a study.

The elderly still stand to benefit from lipid-lowering therapy

02 Apr 2021 by

High LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) levels are associated with the greatest absolute risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in elderly people aged 70–100 years than other age groups in a contemporary primary prevention cohort — indicating that LDL-C is an important risk factor for CVD in the elderly, in contrast to historical studies.

History of familial hypertension linked to increased vascular stiffness

02 Apr 2021

Brachial–ankle pulse-wave velocity (baPWV) and femoral–ankle (fa)PWV are elevated in individuals with a history of familial hypertension, suggesting increased central and peripheral arterial stiffness in susceptible individuals before hypertension onset, a study has shown.
