Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are known to increase the risk of stroke.
Objectives: We set out to examine the risk of stroke by kidney function and albuminuria in patients with and without AF.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Background: Treatment-induced diastolic hypotension has been associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events in post hoc analyses of major blood pressure (BP)-lowering trials. We undertook this retrospective study to assess the prevalence and risk factors for diastolic hypotension among patients referred to a tertiary care hypertension clinic.
Methods: Charts of all active patients were reviewed, and BP at the initial visit was compared with BP at the first visit at which the systolic BP target was achieved or the last visit if the target was not achieved.
