Hypertension Is a Risk Factor for Several Types of Heart Disease: Review of Prospective Studies - PubMed
Source: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Article summary:
1. Hypertension is a strong risk factor for total mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
2. Many prospective cohort studies have demonstrated that hypertension is associated with several types of heart disease, including coronary heart disease (CHD), heart failure, atrial fibrillation, valvular disease, sudden cardiac death (SCD), sick sinus syndrome (SSS), cardiomyopathy, and aortic aneurysms.
3. Prevention of hypertension and lowering one's blood pressure may help reduce the risk of developing heart disease.
Article analysis:
The article is generally reliable and trustworthy as it provides evidence from multiple prospective studies to support its claims. The authors provide detailed information about the studies they used to support their claims, which adds to the credibility of the article. Furthermore, the authors provide a comprehensive review of the association between hypertension and different types of heart diseases, which further strengthens their argument.
However, there are some potential biases in the article that should be noted. For example, most of the epidemiological prospective studies focused on coronary/ischemic heart disease rather than other types of heart diseases such as valvular disease or cardiomyopathy. Additionally, some of the studies used in this review were conducted over 10 years ago and may not reflect current trends in hypertension-related heart diseases. Finally, there is no discussion about possible risks associated with hypertension or how to mitigate them.
