Objective: To investigate the relationship between high-normal blood pressure and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in occupational physical examination population in Changsha.
Methods: With a convenient sampling method, a cross-sectional survey of representative sample of 11 274 white collar workers was conducted in Changsha between March 2011 and May 2011 in a large comprehensive hospital. All subjects were assigned into 4 groups: a normal blood pressure group, a high-normal blood pressure group, an undiagnosed hypertension group, and a diagnosed hypertension group. Anthropometry, blood pressure, blood sample and urine sample were measured with standard instruments and methodology for all the subjects. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for CKD.
Results: The prevalence of CKD in the normal blood pressure, high-normal blood pressure, undiagnosed hypertension, and diagnosed hypertension were 3.31%, 6.60%, 11.78%, and 17.35%, respectively. The prevalence of CKD in males was significantly higher than that in females (P<0.01). For males with high-normal blood pressure, the CKD risk was significantly greater (OR, 1.30; 95% CI:1.03 - 1.63) than those with optimal blood pressure. The logistic regression analysis showed that there was an additive effect of hyperuricemia on CKD risk in men with high-normal blood pressure compared with men with optimal blood pressure (OR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.59 - 3.19; P<0.05).
Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD in people with the high-normal blood pressure is 6.60% in occupational physical examination population in Changsha. CKD is a high risk for men with highnormal blood pressure and hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor.

Background: Accurate predictive tools are crucial for identifying patients at increased risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE) is commonly used to predict 10-year risk for ASCVD, but its accuracy remains imperfect.
Objective: This study examined the extent to which the omega-3 index (O3I; the proportion of eicosapentaenoic acid+docosahexaenoic acid in erythrocyte membranes) improved the predictive capability of PCE.

Objectives: To identify differences in the reported vasoplegia incidence, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and 30-day mortality rates as influenced by different vasoplegia definitions used in cardiac surgery studies.
Design: A systematic review was performed covering the period 1977 to 2023 using PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Emcare and a meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42021258328) was performed.
Setting And Participants: One hundred studies defining vasoplegia in cardiac surgery patients were systematically reviewed.

Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent comorbidity in heart failure (HF). We analysed factors associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure using linked real-world UK data from primary and secondary care, along with findings from genome-wide association studies.
Methods And Results: Among 163 174 participants with a diagnosis of HF (January 1998 to May 2016) from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) and Hospital Episodes Statistics (HES), 111 595 participants had no previous history of AF (mean age 76.

Background: The aim of this was to develop an atrial fibrillation (AF) risk score using items usually included in Japanese governmental health check-ups.
Methods And Results: We analyzed data from 6,476 Japanese participants registered in the Suita Study. At baseline, the participants were aged ≥30 years and were free from AF.

The association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and the subsequent development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Japanese general population remains unclear. To investigate the influence of HDP on long-term postpartum development of metabolic disorders and T2D, we conducted a population-based cross-sectional study using the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75g-OGTT) in 978 parous Japanese women (median age: 66 years). We further evaluated the combined effect of HDP and T2D susceptibility genes on developing T2D.
