Primary Aldosteronism
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Sep;108(3):273-277.ABSTRACTPrimary aldosteronism is the underlying cause of hypertension in primary care settings in approximately 6% of cases, and it is even more common in patients with resistant hypertension. However, it is estimated that only about 2% of patients who have risk factors for primary aldosteronism have been formally tested or diagnosed. The first step in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism is case detection and involves testing patients who are at risk, including individuals with resistant hypertension, as well as those with well-controlled hypertension and a first-degree relative...

Joint Prevalence of Influenza Preventive Behaviors Among Adults-United States, 2020
CONCLUSIONS: The overall joint prevalence was 8.5% (95% CI, 8.0-9.0). Prevalence was lower among older persons (vs younger); Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black persons (vs non-Hispanic White); current and former smokers (vs never smokers); postpartum women (vs neither pregnant nor postpartum); and those with a history of coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (vs not having those respective condition). In addition to recommending annual vaccination, primary care providers might encourage sufficient sleep and adequate physical activity-especially among patients who hav...

Chronic comorbid conditions and asthma exacerbation occurrence in a general population sample
In conclusion, several chronic comorbid conditions were associated with asthma exacerbation occurrence, which confirms but also complements previous studies. Our observations contribute to understanding exacerbation risk estimation and, ultimately, personalized asthma management.PMID:37567896 | DOI:10.1038/s41533-023-00350-x

Progression of stroke risk in patients aged & lt;65 years diagnosed with atrial fibrillation: a cohort study in general practice
CONCLUSION: People aged <65 years with AF are at higher risk of developing hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes than the general population, so may warrant regular review to identify new occurrence of such risk factors.PMID:37487643 | DOI:10.3399/BJGP.2022.0568

Ischemic Stroke Management: Posthospitalization and Transition of Care
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Jul;108(1):70-77.ABSTRACTIschemic stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack exist on a continuum of the same disease process. Ischemic stroke is common, and more than 85% of stroke risk is attributed to modifiable risk factors. The initial management of acute stroke is usually performed in the emergency department and hospital settings. Family physicians have a key role in follow-up, ensuring that a complete diagnostic evaluation has been performed, addressing modifiable risk factors, facilitating rehabilitation, and managing chronic s...

Chronic kidney disease in primary care: risk of cardiovascular events, end stage kidney disease and death
CONCLUSIONS: Our data from a large primary care cohort demonstrate an early increase in the risk of adverse outcomes already at CKD stage 3. This underlines the importance of studying early intervention in primary care.PMID:37344787 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-023-02077-7

Hair sodium concentration is a predictive factor for incident hypertension in middle aged and older Korean adults
Hypertension is associated with high morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases and stroke. High sodium intake is known to contribute to high rates of high blood pressure and its sequalae. However, it is not well known whether sodium in tissue is associated with hypertension development. We investigated the association between sodium amount assessed by hair mineral analyses and incident hypertension for median 4.2 years follow-up.
