The Changes Of Plasma TXB₂ And 6-k-PGF_1α In Patients With Salt-sensitive Essential Hypertension And Survey Of The Distribution Of Different Types Of Hypertension And Blood Lipids Disorders In Elderly Patients With Acute Myocardial I

Objectives Salt-sensitive (SS) essential hypertensive patients are more likely to develop end-organ damage such as cardiovascular or cerebrovascular complications than the non-salt-sensitive (NSS), yet the mechanism is not well understood. The relationship of various risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the young or elderly is different. There were only very few reports about the significance of different types of hypertension, the distribution of blood lipids disorders and the status of early statins use in elderly patients with AMI. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible roles of thromboxane B₂ (TXB₂) and 6-ketone-prostaglandinF_1α (6-k-PGF_1α) in the increased incidence of cardiovascular or cerebrovascular complications in SS essential hypertensive patients. Furthermore, the distribution of different types of hypertension and blood lipids disorders and the status of early statins use in elderly patients with AMI were also investigated.
