Islamic Wet Cupping and Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Diseases: Effects on Blood Pressure, Metabolic Profile and Serum Electrolytes in Healthy Young Adult Men

Background: Risk factors can lead to clinical conditions, like metabolic syndrome, that predisposes the development of cardiovascular diseases. Objective: The goal of this population-based, prospective and non-randomised cohort study was to study the association between patients with metabolic syndrome and other various factors defining metabolic syndrome. Methods: All the patients referred to the department of Medicine, Al-Ameen Medical college hospital and District Hospital, Vijayapur, Karnataka, India over a period of twenty-two months extending from December 2013 to September 2015 were considered in this study. Results: In the current study, out of 100 patients, 62.9% patients had metabolic syndrome with positive family history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus. 70.8% patients had metabolic syndrome with positive history of smoking. 64.3% patients had metabolic syndrome with positive history of alcohol .73.9% patients had metabolic syndrome with positive history of IHD. 87% of the patients with metabolic syndrome had SBP> 130 mmHg, and 78.85% patients had DBP>85 mmHg. And metabolic syndrome was observed in 71.8% patients on anti hypertensive drugs. The mean level of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride is increased whereas the mean level of anti-atherogenic HDL cholesterol is low in subjects with MS. At least one lipid abnormality was present in > 95 % of cases. Around 81% subjects with BMI <25 (out of 38) had metabolic syndrome and 58% subjects with BMI>25(out of 62) had metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: All the components defining the metabolic syndrome correlated positively with the abdominal obesity. Systolic blood pressure values were significantly higher than diastolic blood pressure in subjects with abdominal obesity. Metabolic syndrome has multiple risk factors determined by various aspects like the race, the life style, geographical factors larger study is needed to understand the correlation between various components defining it. A healthy lifestyle, that includes avoiding tobacco exposure and proper weight control, must be encouraged in this high-risk population.

Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) were studied in residents of the Perm region of working age (18-45 years). The prevalence of hypertension was within 19%. The level of blood pressure was: systolic - 119.3 mm Hg. ± 0.78 mm Hg, diastolic - 88 mm Hg ± 0.47 mm Hg Signs of hypothyroidism were found in 8.0% of women and 15.6% of men.

AbstractBackgroundHypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases its control is poor. There exists heterogeneity in levels of blood-pressure control among various population sub-groups. Present study conducted in framework of National Program for prevention and control of cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and stroke (NPCDCS) in India, aims to estimate proportion of optimal blood pressure control and identify potential risk factors pertaining uncontrolled hypertension consequent to initial screening.MethodsWe conceived a cohort of individuals with hypertension confirmed in a baseline screening in sixteen urban slum clusters of Bhopal (2017-2018). Sixteen Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) were trained from within these urban slum communities. Individuals with hypertension were linked to primary care providers and followed-up for next two years. Obtaining optimal blood-pressure control (defined as SBP< 140 and DBP<90 mm of Hg) was a key outcome. Role of baseline anthropometric, and CVD risk factors was evaluated as predictors of blood-pressure control on univariate and multivariate analysis.ResultsOf a total of 6174 individuals, 1571 (25.4%) had hypertension, of which 813 were previously known and 758 were newly detected during baseline survey. Two year follow up was completed for 1177 (74.9%). Blood-pressure was optimally controlled in 301 (26%) at baseline, and in 442 (38%) individuals at two years (absolute increase of 12%; 95% CI 10.2-13.9). Older age, physical-inactivity, higher BMI and newly diagnosed hypertension were significantly associated with uncontrolled blood-pressure.ConclusionsIn the current study we found about six of every ten individuals with hypertension were on-treatment, and about four were optimally controlled. These findings provide a benchmark for NPCDCS, in terms of achievable goals within short periods of follow-up.

ObjectivesTo examine the longitudinal relationship between cardiovascular fitness in young adult men and future risk of migraine and to estimate eventual differential effects among categories of body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure.DesignNational, prospective, population-based cohort study.SettingSweden 1968–2014.Participants18-year-old Swedish men (n=1 819 828) who underwent mandatory military conscription examinations during the years 1968–2005.Primary and secondary outcomesThe primary outcome was the first dispensation of prescribed migraine-specific medication, identified using the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. The secondary outcome was documented migraine diagnosis from the Swedish National Hospital Register.ResultsDuring follow-up, 22 533 men filled a prescription for migraine-specific medication. After confounding adjustment, compared with high cardiovascular fitness, low and medium fitness increased the risk of migraine-specific medication (risk ratio (RR)low: 1.29, 95% CI 1.24 to 1.35; population attributable fraction: 3.6%, 95% CI 1.7% to 5.3% and RRmedium: 1.15, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.19; population attributable fraction: 8.0%, 95% CI 4.0% to 11.7%). To assess potential effect measure modification, stratified analyses of these association by levels of BMI and blood pressure showed that lower fitness levels increased risk of migraine across all groups except among underweight men or men with high diastolic blood pressure.ConclusionsYoung men with a lower cardiovascular fitness had a higher long-term risk of developing pharmacological prescription-requiring migraine. This study contributes with information regarding risk factors for migraine in men, an understudied population in migraine research.
