OBJECTIVEAnalyzing the quality of sleep of hypertensive patients registered in the national registration system and monitoring of hypertensive patients.METHODSA cross-sectional study of quantitative and descriptive analyses with 280 hypertensive patients registered in the National Program of Hypertension and Diabetes of the Federal Government in the months from August to October 2011. Questionnaires were used which allowed for tracking sociodemographic data on hypertension and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).RESULTSThe prevalence of poor sleep quality among respondents (156 hypertensive patients) and high rates of using medication for sleeping (106 hypertensive patients) was observed. Other relevant data refers to the quality of sleep among hypertensive patients using sleep medication compared to those who do not use it (p≤0.01).CONCLUSIONIndividuals with high blood pressure have a negative association with sleep quality.

Hypertension is elevation of systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg. It affects 1 billion people and accounts for approximately 7.1 million deaths annually. It is significant risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Some medicinal plants are traditionally used to treat hypertension. Psidium guava is one of widely cultivated medicinal plant used as traditional medication for diabetes, vomiting, diarrhea and dyslipidemia. The study was designed to identify effect of P. guava leaf extract on hypertension in guinea pigs. The study was conducted on six male guinea pigs to measure the effect of ethanol P. guava leaf extract by using invasive method. The result was analyzed by using paired t-test, independent student t test, one -way ANOVA. Ethanol extract of P. guava leaf showed a significant (p= 0.001) ability to relax isolated aortic tissue of guinea pigs in dose dependent manner, after induction of aortic muscle contraction by high potassium chloride concentrations (80 mM KCl). The effects of P. guava leaf extract in relaxation contracted aortic tissue was may be due to numerous effect of phytochemicals.

“…Although the prevalence of hypertension is on the rise in Canada, studies have shown that its incidence is declining and that more patients are receiving the appropriate treatment to control their blood pressure. 27,28 In addition, implementation of specific guidelines on carotid revascularization, anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation, and an emphasis on early evaluation times and neuroimaging may also improve secondary stroke prevention. 29,30 In Canada, rates of anticoagulation for stroke prevention in context of atrial fibrillation have increased in the past decade with a concomitant decrease in stroke rates.…”

Background: Stroke is often preceded by transient symptoms. Although global stroke rates have been shown to be declining, previous studies have reported inconsistent temporal trends of transient ischemic attacks (TIA). The objective of the current study is to report the temporal trends of TIA admissions and outcomes in Canada over the last 11 years. Methods: We conducted a complete population cohort study using a national administrative database to study the temporal trend of age-and sex-adjusted TIA admission rates in Canada from 2003 to 2013. We also determined the rates of TIA and stroke diagnoses in the emergency department in the province of Ontario during the same period. We used multivariable analyses to study discharge location after acute hospitalization as well as 90-day stroke and/or TIA readmission rates. Results: Of 425,799 admissions to an acute care hospital for all stroke and TIA, 71,443 (16.8%) were TIA. The age-and sex-standardized rates of TIA admission decreased significantly during the study period from 30.0 to 20.6 per 100,000 (p < 0.0001). In Ontario, decreasing TIA admissions is mirrored by decreasing rates of TIA directly discharged from the emergency department (55.1 to 46.8 per 100,000, p = 0.002). The odds of 90-day readmission rates for stroke or TIA are also decreasing (adjusted odds ratio, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.96-0.99). Conclusions: We show that TIA admission rates have declined in the past 11 years in Canada, reflecting improved vascular risk reduction and stroke care. Future studies to confirm our findings on improved stroke or TIA recurrence rates are necessary. ICT, 71,443 (16,8%) étaient pour une ICT. Les taux d'hospitalisation pour une ICT, standardisés pour l'âge et le sexe, ont diminué significativement pendant la période de l'étude, soit de 30,0 à 20,6 par 100,000 (p < 0,0001). En Ontario, la diminution des hospitalisations pour une ICT se reflète dans la diminution des taux d'ICT au moment du congé directement du département des urgences (55,1 à 46,8 par 100,000; p = 0,002). Les taux de réhospitalisation pour AVC ou ICT au cours des 90 jours suivant l'événement initial diminuent également (RC 0,97 ; intervalle de confiance à 95% de 0,96 à 0,99). Conclusions: Nous démontrons que les taux d'hospitalisation pour ICT ont diminué au Canada au cours des 11 dernières années, reflétant une diminution du risque vasculaire ainsi qu'une amélioration du traitement de l'AVC. Des études ultérieures seront nécessaires afin de confirmer nos constatations sur les taux de récurrence de l'AVC ou de l'ICT.
