Obesity and hypertension

Seravalle, Gino, Grassi, Guido·2017·Pharmacological Research

Abstract

Obesity and in particular the excessive visceral fat distribution is accompanied by several alterations at hormonal, inflammatory and endothelial level. These alterations induce a stimulation of several other mechanisms that contribute to the hypertensive state and on the other side to increase the cardiovascular morbidity. In these chapter we will examine the main mechanisms of obesity and obesity-related hypertension and in particular the role of sympathetic nervous system, the alterations of the renal function and at the microvascular level. We will also depict the role of insulin resistance as factor stimulating and potentiating the other mechanisms. The second part will be focalized on the major target organ damage linked with obesity and obesity-related hypertension. We will finally describe the management and treatment of obesity and the antihypertensive drug therapies more effective in hypertensive obeses.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular/renal/hepatic complications, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, bronchial asthma, and Alzheimer's disease are associated with obesity.

    “Several comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular/renal/hepatic complications, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, bronchial asthma, and Alzheimer’s disease are associated with obesity [10-13].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
