Synopsis:

Hyperuricaemia and overweight/obesity are independent risk factors for hypertension; they increase the risk to a much greater extent when present together.

ABSTRACT

Background: While hyperuricaemia and overweight/obesity can act alone to increase the prevalence of hypertension, few studies have examined their combined effect.

Methods: This cross-sectional study of 42 332 Han Chinese from southwestern China investigated the combined effect of hyperuricaemia and overweight/obesity on risk of hypertension in the entire sample as well as in different genders and age groups.

Echocardiography-guided Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Node and VVI Pacemaker Implantation

Issue:

Vol 1, Issue 2 (2014)

DOI:

10.7727/wimjopen.2013.317

Synopsis:

Radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrioventricular node and VVI pacemaker implantation under transthoracic echocardiography guidance is a safe, easy and feasible approach. This procedure could be an important supplemental measure to a catheter ablation of arrhythmia under routine X-ray fluoroscopy.
