  • Sex differences in risk factor control off treated hypertensives : a national primary healthcare-based study in Sweden
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation. - 1741-8267 .- 1741-8275. ; 15:3, s. 258-262

    • Background To evaluate potential sex differences, this study aimed to investigate blood pressure and lipid control and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease in treated hypertensive (tHT) patients from primary healthcare. Design and methods This cross-sectional survey of tHT patients was carried out between 2002 and 2005 by 264 primary care physicians from Sweden who consecutively recruited 6537 tHT patients (48% men and 52% women) from medical records. Results tHT men more often reached the treatment goal for systolic/diastolic blood pressure, less than 140/90 mmHg, than tHT women (30 vs. 26%, P < 0.01). Men had lower systolic blood pressure than women, however, women had lower diastolic blood pressure and higher pulse pressure. More tHT women had total cholesterol >= 5.0 mmol/l than corresponding men (75 vs. 64% P < 0.001). Men more often had diabetes (25 vs. 20% P < 0.001), left ventricular hypertrophy (20 vs. 16% P < 0.001), and microalbuminuria (24 vs. 16% P < 0.001). Women were more often treated with diuretics (64 vs. 48%) and P-receptor blockers, (54 vs. 51%), and men more often treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (27 vs. 18%), calcium channel blockers (34 vs. 26%), and lipid-lowering drugs (34 vs. 29%). Conclusion A need still exists for more intensified treatment of elevated blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia, especially in women. In hypertensives of both sexes, smoking and other risk factors also need to be addressed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

  • Is migration to Sweden associated with increased prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease?
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation. - : Sage Publications. - 1741-8267 .- 1741-8275. ; 15:1, s. 78-82
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUND: [corrected] The proportion of elderly immigrants in Sweden is increasing. This is an important issue considering that the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global health problem and that CVD is one of the main causes of morbidity among the elderly. The aim of this study is to analyze whether there is an association between migration status, that is being an elderly Iranian immigrant in Sweden, as compared with being an elderly Iranian in Iran, and the prevalence of risk factors for CVD. DESIGN: Population-based cross-sectional study with face-to-face interviews. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: A total of 176 Iranians in Stockholm and 300 Iranians in Tehran, aged 60-84 years. METHODS: The prevalence of general obesity, abdominal obesity, hypertension, smoking, and diabetes was determined. Unconditional logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for outcomes. RESULTS: The age-adjusted risk of hypertension and smoking was higher in Iranian women and men in Sweden. OR for hypertension was 1.9 (95% CI: 1.1-3.2) for women and 3.1 (95% CI: 1.5-6.3) for men and OR for smoking was 6.9 (95% CI: 2.2-21.6) for women and 4.7 (95% CI: 2.0-11.0) for men. The higher risk for hypertension and smoking remained significant after accounting for age, socioeconomic status, and marital status. Abdominal obesity was found in nearly 80% of the women in both groups. CONCLUSION: The findings show a strong association between migration status and the prevalence of hypertension and smoking. Major recommendation for public health is increased awareness of CVD risk factors among elderly immigrants.

  • Job stress and major coronary events: results from the Job Stress, Absenteeism and Coronary Heart Disease in Europe study
  • 2006
  • Ingår i: Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 1741-8267 .- 1741-8275. ; 13:5, s. 695-704

    • AIMS: The intention of this study is to investigate the relationship of the demands/control/strain model with hard coronary events in an epidemiological, prospective, multicenter, European study. METHODS AND RESULTS: Six cohorts (Brussels, Ghent, Lille, Barcelona, Goteborg and Malmo) from four European countries (Belgium, France, Spain and Sweden) consisting of 21 111 middle-aged male subjects participated between 1993 and 1996 in the baseline survey of the Job Stress, Absenteeism and Coronary Heart Disease in Europe (JACE) study. The Karasek strain model of psychological demands (five items)/control (nine items) was used. During a mean follow-up of 40 months 185 acute coronary events or coronary deaths were observed. Age-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for developing an acute coronary event were 1.46 [CI 95% confidence interval (1.08-1.97)] for high against low psychological demands and 1.53 (95% CI 1.0-2.35) for strained (high demands plus low control) against relaxed (low demands plus high control) groups. After adjustment for standard cardiovascular risk factors the HR for developing a coronary event for those above or equal to the median against those below the median of psychological demands was 1.46 (95% CI 1.08-1.97) whereas the HR for strained against relaxed groups is 1.46 (95% CI 0.96-2.25). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the results. CONCLUSION: In this European, multicenter, prospective, epidemiological study the Karasek job strain model was an independent predictor of acute coronary events, with the psychological demands scale emerging as the important component.

  • Primary risk factors influence risk of recurrent myocardial infarction/death from coronary heart disease : result from the Stockholm Heart Epidemiology program (SHEEP).
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation. - 1741-8267 .- 1741-8275. ; 14:4, s. 532-537
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • BACKGROUNDPrognosis after a first myocardial infarction (MI) is influenced by primary risk factors as well as secondary risk factors. There is still a lack of follow-up studies of well-characterized patient cohorts assessing the relative importance of these factors. DESIGNA cohort of 1635 patients (aged 45-70 years) surviving at least 28 days after a first MI were followed for 6-9 years with regard to recurrent MI/fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). Data were collected through questionnaires, physical examinations, and medical records. METHODSHazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for different risk factors were calculated using the Cox proportional hazard model. RESULTSOf the primary risk factors, diabetes in both sexes was the most important predictor of recurrent MI/fatal CHD, multivariate-adjusted HR in men 1.6 (95% CI; 1.0-2.4) and in women 2.5 (95% CI; 0.9-6.9). Other primary risk factors with prognostic influence were job strain, HR 1.5 (95% CI; 1.0-2.1), and central obesity, HR 1.4 (95% CI; 1.0-2.0), in men and a low level of apolipoprotein A1, HR 2.3 (95% CI; 1.1-5.0), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HR 1.9 (95% CI; 0.9-4.1), in women. The secondary risk factors most detrimental for prognosis were heart failure in men, HR 2.2 (95% CI; 1.2-4.0), and a high peak acute cardiac enzyme level in women, HR 4.4 (95% CI; 2.0-9.7). CONCLUSIONSLong-term follow-up of patients who survived at least 28 days after a first MI shows that several primary cardiovascular risk factors, particularly diabetes, contribute to the increased risk of recurrent MI/fatal CHD.

  • Endothelium-dependent vasodilation is impaired in apparently healthy subjects with a family history of myocardial infarction
  • 2002
  • Ingår i: Journal of Cardiovascular Risk. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 1350-6277 .- 1473-5652. ; 9:1, s. 53-57
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether endothelial-dependent vasodilation is altered in healthy subjects with a family history of myocardial infarction. SETTING: Tertiary University Hospital SUBJECTS AND DESIGN: Fifty apparently healthy subjects selected from the general population were subjected to an evaluation of endothelial-dependent vasodilation (EDV) and endothelial-independent vasodilation (EIDV) by means of local infusion of methacholine (MCh, 2 and 4 microg/min) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP, 5 and 10 microg/min) with measurements of forearm blood flow with venous occlusion plethysmography. The occurrence of plaque and the intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries were determined by ultrasonography. RESULTS: Subjects reporting at least one parent suffering from myocardial infarction (n = 11) showed a significantly lower EDV than subjects without such a family history (21 +/- 3.7 vs. 26 +/- 6.7 ml/min/100 ml tissue at MCh 4 microg/min, P<0.05). EIDV was not significantly different between the groups (21 +/- 6.8 vs. 18 +/- 5.4 ml/min/100 ml tissue at SNP 10 microg/min). Age, sex distribution, body mass index, waist to hip ratio, blood pressure, lipids, fasting blood glucose, smoking habits and status of the carotid arteries were not significantly different between the groups. CONCLUSION: A family history of myocardial infarction was found to be associated with an impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilation in the forearm of apparently healthy subjects. The risk factor profile was not different from the control group, suggesting that genetic factors are responsible for the impaired endothelial-dependent vasodilation.
