Key result
Patients with well-controlled solitary hypertension exhibited significantly higher levels of plasma malondialdehyde (3.07 vs 1.72 nmol/mg protein, p<0.001) and lower antioxidant enzyme activities compared to healthy controls.
Why the study?
Does solitary hypertension alter oxidative stress biomarkers (MDA, EOF, SOD, CAT) compared to healthy controls?
Cross-Sectional (n=113)
No
Does solitary hypertension alter oxidative stress biomarkers (MDA, EOF, SOD, CAT) compared to healthy controls?
Absolute Event Rate: 3.07% vs 1.72%
p-value: p=<0.001
Solitary hypertension is associated with increased oxidative damage and decreased antioxidant enzyme activity, even when blood pressure is adequately controlled.

Iyamu et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Solitary Hypertension (n=113). Solitary Hypertension vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) level (nmol/mg protein) (p=<0.001). Patients with well-controlled solitary hypertension exhibited significantly higher levels of plasma malondialdehyde (3.07 vs 1.72 nmol/mg protein, p<0.001) and lower antioxidant enzyme activities compared to healthy controls.
