Background: Hypertension is an important contributor to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in breast cancer (BC) survivors; however, research on blood pressure (BP) and CVD outcomes in BC survivors is limited.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to better characterize the association between BP and CVD in a large, longitudinal cohort of BC patients.
Methods: Women with invasive BC diagnosed from 2005 to 2013 at Kaiser Permanente Northern California were matched 1:5 to women without BC. Patient data were obtained from electronic health records. Multivariable Cox regression and penalized spline models were used to explore the linear and nonlinear relationship of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) on CVD outcomes.
Results: BC cases (n = 12,713) and controls (n = 55,886) had median follow-up of 9.6 years (IQR: 5.0-11.9 years). Women with BC had a mean age of 60.6 years; 64.8% were non-Hispanic White. For ischemic heart disease (IHD), every 10 mmHg increase in SBP and DBP was associated with 1.23 (95% CI: 1.14-1.33) and 1.10 (95% CI: 0.98-1.24) risk, respectively, in women with BC. For stroke, every 10 mmHg increase in SBP and DBP was associated with a 1.45 (95% CI: 1.34-1.58) and 1.91 (95% CI: 1.68-2.18) risk, respectively. A U-shaped relationship was observed between heart failure/cardiomyopathy and BP. The associations between BP and risk of IHD, stroke, and any primary CVD were not statistically different comparing women with BC to controls, but risks varied by BC status for heart failure/cardiomyopathy ( for interaction = 0.01).
Conclusions: Women with and without BC showed similar risks for IHD, stroke, and any primary CVD suggesting similar BP targets should be pursued regardless of BC survivorship status.

Arterial hypertension in young adults, which includes patients between 19 and 40 years of age, has been increasing in recent years and is associated with a significantly higher risk of target organ damage and short-term mortality. It has been reported that up to 10% of these cases are due to a potentially reversible secondary cause, mainly of endocrine (primary aldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, and pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma), renal (renovascular hypertension due to fibromuscular dysplasia and renal parenchymal disease), or cardiac (coarctation of the aorta) origin. It is recommended to rule out a secondary cause of high blood pressure (BP) in those patients with early onset of grade 2 or 3 hypertension, acute worsening of previously controlled hypertension, resistant hypertension, hypertensive emergency, severe target organ damage disproportionate to the grade of hypertension, or in the face of clinical or biochemical characteristics suggestive of a secondary cause of hypertension.

Objectives: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vasodilator administration on CT angiography (CTA) prostatic artery diameter and peak opacification in dogs with prostatic carcinoma prior to prostatic artery embolization (PAE).
Materials And Methods: A prospective clinical trial was performed. Ten dogs with naturally occurring prostatic carcinoma and no evidence of cardiovascular disease were enrolled.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (met-s) is a medical condition that includes abdominal obesity, hyperlipidemia, high blood glucose, and high blood pressure. It is associated with a high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The condition was believed to be a challenge mostly faced by developed nations.

BACKGROUND Appropriate management of patients who have fallen is crucial for reducing damage and mortality. We report the case of a patient who fell from a seated position, which caused traumatic liver injury, with gastrointestinal symptoms as the primary patient concern. CASE REPORT A woman in her 80s who was living independently fell from a seated position during the daytime.

Arterial hypertension and increased atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) are strong predictors of cardiovascular risk associated in individuals with obesity both in adults and children. Thus, we aimed to explore the relationship between AIP and systolic ambulatory blood pressure index (sABPI) with left ventricular geometry pattern in obese children. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 129 obese children (BMI greater or equal to the 95th percentile for age and sex) were examined.
