Age, Sex and Hypertension in Myocardial Infarction Due to Coronary Occlusion

Hypertension and Cerebral Atherosclerosis

“…The number of cases for which data were available is given in table 3. Again the 50th and the 75th percentiles for each age and sex group were used to divide the cases into "high" level and "low" level groups for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as for mean blood pressure.…”

Coronary Artery Disease in the Diabetic

“…Sinai Hospital by Master, Dack, and Jaffe. 8 Among 500 cases of coronary occlusion the ratio of men to women was 3.4 to 1. The average ratio in 2,803 cases diagnosed clinically and reported in fourteen series in the literature was 4.6 to 1.…”

ISCHAeMIC HEART DISEASE AND PERIPHERAL OCCLUSIVE ARTERIAL DISEASE

“…In this series and in others there is a striking preponderance of men among those who have occlusive arterial disease of the legs (Hines and Barker, 1940;Lindbom, 1950). This is also so in those with coronary occlusive arterial disease (Master et al, 1939;Parker et al, 1946;and White et al, 1943). Angina pectoris is known to be rare in women in the absence of other heart disease; hypertension has been described as an important factor in its xtiology (Summers, 1948), although there is lack of agreement on its importance as such (Davis and Klainer, 1940;White et al, 1950).…”

“…The analogy between angina pectoris and pain in the legs in intermittent claudication has been recognized since Brodie drew attention to it in 1846, some years after Heberden's description of angina pectoris as a separate disease entity (Heberden, 1772), and preceding Charcot's description of intermittent claudication in man (Charcot, 1859). Angina pectoris in this paper has been taken to include angina of effort, cardiac infarction, or any intermediate syndrome such as coronary insufficiency (Master, 1946). Intermittent claudication may be defined as limping or lameness, often accompanied by pain in the leg, coming on during exercise.…”
