  • Mortality and morbidity during a period of 2 years after coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with and without a history of hypertension
  • 1996
  • Ingår i: Journal of Hypertension. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Ltd.. - 0263-6352 .- 1473-5598. ; 14:3, s. 309-314

    • OBJECTIVE: To describe mortality and morbidity during a period of 2 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in relation to a history of hypertension. PATIENTS: All patients in western Sweden in whom CABG was undertaken between June 1988 and June 1991 and in whom simultaneous valve surgery was not performed were included in the study. DESIGN: A prospective 2-year follow-up study. RESULTS: Patients with a history of hypertension (n = 777) differed from patients without such a history (n = 1348) in that the proportion of women was higher, they were older and more frequently had a history of congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, cerebro-vascular disease, intermittent claudication and obesity, and the number of smokers and patients with previous CABG was lower. They were also more likely to develop post-operative cerebrovascular complications and signs of myocardia damage. Patients with hypertension tended to have increased mortality during the first 30 days after CABG and the late mortality (between day 30 and 2 years) was significantly higher than in non-hypertensive participants. Whereas the development of myocardial infarction was similar in both groups, the hypertensive study participants more frequently developed stroke during 2 years of follow-up. In a multivariate analysis including age, sex, history of different cardiovascular diseases, smoking, ejection fraction, and the occurrence of three-vessel disease, hypertension did not emerge as an independent predictor of death in the early or late phase or during a total of 2 years of follow-up. CONCLUSION: Among CABG patients, those with a history of hypertension have a different pattern of risk factors. They have a higher mean age, include a higher proportion of women and have a higher prevalence of congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, renal dysfunction, cerebro-vascular disease, intermittent claudication, and obesity. They also have an increased frequency of immediate post-operative complications and an increased 2-year mortality, even if a history of hypertension was not an independent predictor of death during 2 years of follow-up.

  • Prognosis in hypertensives with acute myocardial infarction
  • 1992
  • Ingår i: Journal of Hypertension. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Ltd.. - 0263-6352 .- 1473-5598. ; 10:10, s. 1265-1271
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVES: A previous history of hypertension is overrepresented among patients with ischaemic heart disease. The present study aims at describing the influence of a previous history of hypertension upon the prognosis among patients hospitalized due to acute myocardial infarction. DESIGN: Patients were followed for 1 year. Mortality and morbidity are described during hospitalization and after discharge from hospital. SETTING: Sahlgrenska Hospital, serving half of the area of Gothenburg in Sweden. PATIENTS: All patients admitted to Sahlgrenska Hospital during 21 months due to acute myocardial infarction regardless of age and whether they were admitted to the coronary care unit. RESULTS: Among all patients with confirmed acute myocardial infarction (n = 917) a previous history of hypertension was reported in 324 patients. Hypertensives more frequently had a previous history of acute myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, congestive heart failure and diabetes mellitus. Their mortality during hospitalization was similar to that in normotensives. However, the total mortality during 1 year of follow-up was 35% in hypertensives and 25% for normotensives (P < 0.01), and a previous history of hypertension was an independent risk indicator for death after discharge from hospital. Place and mode of death appeared similar in normotensives and hypertensives. Reinfarction was twice as common in hypertensives as in normotensives, and a previous history of hypertension was an independent risk indicator for reinfarction. CONCLUSIONS: Among patients with acute myocardial infarction a previous history of hypertension indicates a poor prognosis, one-third of patients dying and one-quarter developing reinfarction during the first year after onset of acute myocardial infarction.

  • Improvement in various estimates of quality of life after coronary artery bypass grafting in patients with and without a history of hypertension
  • 1997
  • Ingår i: Journal of Hypertension. - : Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Ltd.. - 0263-6352 .- 1473-5598. ; 15:9, s. 1033-1039
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVE: To describe various estimates of the quality of life (QOL) prior to and for 2 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for patients with a history of hypertension compared with nonhypertensives. METHODS: Patients in western Sweden in whom CABG had been performed between 1988 and 1991 participated. Their QOL was estimated from the Physical Activity Score, the Nottingham Health Profile, and the Psychological General Well-being Index. RESULTS: All three questionnaires detected a significant improvement in QOL already at 3 months, which persisted at 1 and 2 years both for hypertensive and for nonhypertensive patients. With the Physical Activity Score and the Psychological General Well-being Index the improvement in QOL of hypertension patients was less marked 3 months after the operation compared with that of nonhypertensives (P < 0.05). Two years after the CABG improvement was less marked for hypertensive patients than it was for nonhypertensive patients in terms of the Physical Activity Score (P < 0.01). With the Nottingham Health Profile the improvement was similar for hypertensive and nonhypertensive patients at each evaluation after the operation. With all three measures the results indicated that hypertensive patients had a worse QOL that did nonhypertensive patients. However, in a multivariate analysis considering other risk indicators simultaneously, a history of hypertension did not appear as an independent risk indicator for an adverse QOL 2 years after CABG. CONCLUSION: There was a significant improvement in various QOL estimates after CABG both for hypertensive and for nonhypertensive patients. The degree of improvement tended to be less marked for hypertensive patients than it was for nonhypertensive patients, especially 3 months after the operation and concerning physical activities. Hypertensives had a worse QOL than did nonhypertensives. However, the differences were small and could mainly be explained in terms of factors other than hypertension.
