  • Lipid-modifying efficacy and tolerability of extended-release niacin/laropiprant in patients with primary hypercholesterolaemia or mixed dyslipidaemia
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: International journal of clinical practice (Esher). - : Hindawi Limited. - 1368-5031 .- 1742-1241. ; 62:12, s. 1959-1970

    • Background: Improving lipids beyond low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) lowering with statin monotherapy may further reduce cardiovascular risk. Niacin has complementary lipid-modifying efficacy to statins and cardiovascular benefit, but is underutilised because of flushing, mediated primarily by prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). Laropiprant (LRPT), a PGD 2 receptor (DP1) antagonist that reduces niacin-induced flushing has been combined with extended-release niacin (ERN) into a fixed-dose tablet. Methods and results: Dyslipidaemic patients were randomised to ERN/LRPT 1 g (n = 800), ERN 1 g (n = 543) or placebo (n = 270) for 4 weeks. Doses were doubled (2 tablets/day, i.e. 2 g for active treatments) for 20 weeks. ERN/LRPT 2 g produced significant changes vs. placebo in LDL-C (-18.4%), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, 20.0%), LDL-C:HDL-C (-31.2%), non-HDL-C (-19.8%), triglycerides (TG, -25.8%), apolipoprotein (Apo) B (-18.8%), Apo A-I (6.9%), total cholesterol (TC, -8.5%), TC:HDL-C (-23.1%) and lipoprotein(a) (-20.8%) across weeks 12-24. ERN/LRPT produced significantly less flushing than ERN during initiation (week 1) and maintenance (weeks 2-24) for all prespecified flushing end-points (incidence, intensity and discontinuation because of flushing). Except for flushing, ERN/LRPT had a safety/tolerability profile comparable with ERN. Conclusion: Extended-release niacin/LRPT 2 g produced significant, durable improvements in multiple lipid/lipoprotein parameters. The improved tolerability of ERN/LRPT supports a simplified 1 g?2 g dosing regimen of niacin, a therapy proven to reduce cardiovascular risk. © 2008 Merck & Co.

  • Urinary aquaporin-2 in children with acute pyelonephritis
  • 2006
  • Ingår i: Pediatric nephrology (Berlin, West). - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0931-041X .- 1432-198X. ; 21:3, s. 361-367

    • Children with acute pyelonephritis develop polyuria and have reduced maximum urinary concentration capacity. We studied whether these abnormalities are associated with altered urinary excretion of the water channel aquaporin-2 (AQP2) in the renal collecting duct. AQP2 is the main target for antidiuretic action of arginine vasopressin (AVP), and the urinary excretion of this protein is believed to be an index of AVP signaling activity in the kidney. Children with acute pyelonephritis, aged 5-14 years, were examined for urinary flow rate, creatinine clearance, unchallenged urine osmolality, and urinary ion excretion. Urinary excretion of AQP2 was measured by dot immunoblotting technique. Studies were performed in the acute phase of pyelonephritis, in the same children after treatment, and in control patients. At the onset of pyelonephritis, urinary flow rate and solute excretion were increased, but the urinary osmolality was unchanged. The urinary level and urinary excretion of AQP2 was increased in acute pyelonephritis and decreased after treatment. Excretion of aquaporin-3 was unchanged, suggesting that the increase in AQP2 urinary excretion was not due to a shedding of collecting duct cells. The results suggest that a mechanism proximal to the collecting duct may be responsible for the polyuria observed in children with acute pyelonephritis. Increased urinary AQP2 levels suggest that a compensatory activation of apical plasma membrane targeting of AQP2 may occur in pyelonephritis.

  • Prognostic accuracy of day versus night ambulatory blood pressure : a cohort study
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: The Lancet. - 0140-6736 .- 1474-547X. ; 370:9594, s. 1219-1229

    • Background Few studies have formally compared the predictive value of the blood pressure at night over and beyond the daytime value. We investigated the prognostic significance of the ambulatory blood pressure during night and day and of the night-to-day blood pressure ratio. Methods We did 24-h blood pressure monitoring in 7458 people (mean age 56.8 years [SD 13.9]) enrolled in prospective population studies in Denmark, Belgium, Japan, Sweden, Uruguay, and China. We calculated multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios for daytime and night-time blood pressure and the systolic night-to-day ratio, while adjusting for cohort and cardiovascular risk factors. Findings Median follow-up was 9.6 years (5th to 95th percentile 2.5-13.7). Adjusted for daytime blood pressure, night-time blood pressure predicted total (n=983; p<0.0001), cardiovascular (n=387; p<0.01), and non-cardiovascular (n=560; p<0.001) mortality. Conversely, adjusted for night-time blood pressure, daytime blood pressure predicted only non-cardiovascular mortality (p<0.05), with lower blood pressure levels being associated with increased risk. Both daytime and night-time blood pressure consistently predicted all cardiovascular events (n=943; p<0.05) and stroke (n=420; p<0.01). Adjusted for night-time blood pressure, daytime blood pressure lost prognostic significance only for cardiac events (n=525; p >= 0.07). Adjusted for the 24-h blood pressure, night-to-day ratio predicted mortality, but not fatal combined with non-fatal events. Antohypertensive drug treatment removed the significant association between cardiovascular events and the daytime blood pressure. Participants with systolic night-to-day ratio value of 1 or more were older, at higher risk of death, and died at an older age than those whose night-to-day ratio was normal (>= 0.80 to <0.90). Interpretation In contrast to commonly held views, daytime blood pressure adjusted for night-time blood pressure predicts fatal combined with non-fatal cardiovascular events, except in treated patients, in whom antihypertensive drugs might reduce blood pressure during the day, but not at night. The increased mortality in patients with higher night-time than daytime blood pressure probably indicates reverse causality. Our findings support recording the ambulatory blood pressure during the whole day.

  • Prognostic superiority of daytime ambulatory over conventional blood pressure in four populations : a meta-analysis of 7,030 individuals
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Journal of Hypertension. - 0263-6352 .- 1473-5598. ; 25:8, s. 1554-1564
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective To investigate the multivariate-adjusted predictive value of systolic and diastolic blood pressures on conventional (CBP) and daytime (10-20h) ambulatory (ABP) measurement. Methods We randomly recruited 7030 subjects (mean age 56.2 years; 44.8% women) from populations in Belgium, Denmark, Japan and Sweden. We constructed the International Database on Ambulatory blood pressure and Cardiovascular Outcomes. Results During follow-up (median = 9.5 years), 932 subjects died. Neither CBP nor ABP predicted total mortality, of which 60.9% was due to noncardiovascular causes. The incidence of fatal combined with nonfatal cardiovascular events amounted to 863 (228 deaths, 326 strokes and 309 cardiac events). In multivariate-adjusted continuous analyses, both CBP and ABP predicted cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, cardiac and coronary events. However, in fully-adjusted models, including both CBP and ABP, CBP lost its predictive value (P>0.052), whereas systolic and diastolic ABP retained their prognostic significance (P< 0.007) with the exception of diastolic ABP as predictor of cardiac and coronary events (P>0.21). In adjusted categorical analyses, normotension was the referent group (CBP<140/90 mmHg and ABP<135/ 85 mmHg). Adjusted hazard ratios for all cardiovascular events were 1.22 [95% confidence interval (Cl) = 0.96-1.53; P=0.09] for white-coat hypertension (≥140/90 and <135/85 mmHg); 1.62 (95% Cl = 1.35-1.96; P< 0.0001) for masked hypertension (<140/90 and ≥ 135/85 mmHg); and 1.80 (95% Cl = 1.59-2.03; P<0.0001) for sustained hypertension (≥140/90 and ≥135/85 mmHg). Conclusions ABP is superior to CBP in predicting cardiovascular events, but not total and noncardiovascular mortality. Cardiovascular risk gradually increases from normotension over white-coat and masked hypertension to sustained hypertension.

  • Diagnostic thresholds for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring based on 10-year cardiovascular risk
  • 2007
  • Ingår i: Circulation. - 0009-7322 .- 1524-4539. ; 12:6, s. 393-395
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background - Current diagnostic thresholds for ambulatory blood pressure ( ABP) mainly rely on statistical parameters derived from reference populations. We determined an outcome-driven reference frame for ABP measurement. Methods and Results - We performed 24-hour ABP monitoring in 5682 participants ( mean age 59.0 years; 43.3% women) enrolled in prospective population studies in Copenhagen, Denmark; Noorderkempen, Belgium; Ohasama, Japan; and Uppsala, Sweden. In multivariate analyses, we determined ABP thresholds, which yielded 10-year cardiovascular risks similar to those associated with optimal ( 120/80 mm Hg), normal ( 130/85 mm Hg), and high ( 140/90 mm Hg) blood pressure on office measurement. Over 9.7 years ( median), 814 cardiovascular end points occurred, including 377 strokes and 435 cardiac events. Systolic/diastolic thresholds for optimal ABP were 116.8/74.2 mm Hg for 24 hours, 121.6/78.9 mm Hg for daytime, and 100.9/65.3 mm Hg for nighttime. Corresponding thresholds for normal ABP were 123.9/76.8, 129.9/82.6, and 110.2/68.1 mm Hg, respectively, and those for ambulatory hypertension were 131.0/79.4, 138.2/86.4, and 119.5/70.8 mm Hg. After rounding, approximate thresholds for optimal ABP amounted to 115/75 mm Hg for 24 hours, 120/80 mm Hg for daytime, and 100/65 mm Hg for nighttime. Rounded thresholds for normal ABP were 125/75, 130/85, and 110/70 mm Hg, respectively, and those for ambulatory hypertension were 130/80, 140/85, and 120/70 mm Hg. Conclusions - Population-based outcome-driven thresholds for optimal and normal ABP are lower than those currently proposed by hypertension guidelines.

  • Is blood pressure during the night more predictive of cardiovascular outcome than during the day?
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: Blood Pressure Monitoring. - 1359-5237 .- 1473-5725. ; 13:3, s. 145-147
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic significance of the ambulatory blood pressure (BP) during night and day and of the night-to-day BP ratio (NDR). We studied 7458 participants (mean age 56.8 years; 45.8% women) enrolled in the International Database on Ambulatory BP in relation to Cardiovascular Outcome. Using Cox models, we calculated hazard ratios (HR) adjusted for cohort and cardiovascular risk factors. Over 9.6 years (median), 983 deaths and 943 cardiovascular events occurred. Nighttime BP predicted mortality outcomes (HR, 1.18-1.24; P<0.01) independent of daytime BP. Conversely, daytime systolic (HR, 0.84; P<0.01) and diastolic BP (HR, 0.88; P<0.05) predicted only noncardiovascular mortality after adjustment for nighttime BR Both daytime BP and nighttime BP consistently predicted all cardiovascular events (HR, 1.11-1.33, P<0.05) and stroke (HR, 1.21-1.47; P<0.01). Daytime BP lost its prognostic significance for cardiovascular events in patients on antihypertensive treatment. Adjusted for the 24-h BP, NDR predicted mortality (P<0.05), but not fatal combined with nonfatal events. Participants with systolic NDR of at least 1 compared with participants with normal NDR (>= 0.80 to < 0.90) were older, at higher risk of death, but died at higher age. The predictive accuracy of the daytime and nighttime BP and the NDR depended on the disease outcome under study. The increased mortality in patients with higher NDR probably indicates reverse causality. Our findings support recording the ambulatory BP during the whole day.
