Sleep Quality Disturbances and Blood Pressure Values by Emma Zimelli in Advancements in Cardiovascular Research (ACR) in Lupine Publishers

The aim of the study was to find out whether early blood pressure (TK) values in patients with fixed and medically treated hypertension correlated with sleep quality during the previous night, and that treatment with rilmenidine affects not only TK but also improves sleep quality by reducing sympathetic activity. In a previous study, 1216 patients with hypertension and metabolic syndrome found that up to 59% of them reported improvement in sleep during treatment with rilmenidine. We investigated 993 patients with essential hypertension who failed to reach TK target values despite 79% and 79% had abdominal obesity. Treatment with rilmenidine was added to the existing treatment. The study lasted for 3 months. At the beginning and end of the study, anthropometric and basic biochemical examinations, repeated heart rate and heart rate measurements over a 10-minute interval, and an assessment of sleep quality according to the Athens Insomnia Scale questionnaire were performed in outpatient clinics.

Plenty has been written about the impact of arteriosclerosis, i.e. arterial biomineralization, on the functioning of human body. A little less information is available concerning the dissolution and prevention of such mineralization (calcium channel blockers etc.) [1,2]. The significance of even a small progress in “cleaning” the arteries cannot be overstated. By renewing the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system, it will restore proper functioning of tissue, organs, and other elements of the body, and in effect support removal or reduction of many diseases. It will lead to lasting rejuvenation of the body.

HTLV-1 Seropositivity and Unexplained Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Jamaican Patients: (ACR) - Lupine Publishers



Background: Viruses have been implicated in the aetiology/pathogensis of unexplained dilated cardiomyopathy. 6% of adult Jamaicans are HTLV-1 seropositive. We therefore explored the relationship between HTLV-1 infectious cases and unexplained dilated cardiomyopathy in Jamaica.
Methods: Thirteen patients were recruited from Kingston Public Hospital Cardiology clinic, to study HTLV-1 seroprevalence in patients with unexplained dilated cardiomyopathy (WHO criteria: LVEF< 45 %, LVIDd>117% of upper limit for age and BSA without evidence of coronary disease, severe hypertension, excess alcohol intake, valvular heart disease and HIV infection). The HTLV-1 seroprevalence in a group of patients without dilated cardiomyopathy registered in the cardiology clinic was then compared. HTLV- 1 antibodies were detected by ELISA and confirmed where positive by Western Blot. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between HTLV-1 seropositivity and unexplained dilated cardiomyopathy.
Results: HTLV1 seroprevalence in 11 patients (7 males, 3 females) with unexplained dilated cardiomyopathy and 30 (11 males, 19 females) controls were compared. Three (27%) patients with cardiomyopathy and 3 (10%) of controls had HTLV-1 antibodies the crude OR (95%CI) for HTLV1 seropositivity was 3.36 (0.57-20.10). The age and sex adjusted OR (95%CI) was 2.71(0.43-17.19).
Conclusion: There may be an association between HTLV-1 infection and unexplained dilated cardiomyopathy in Jamaica. A larger study is required to further explore this potential relationship.
