Is the pre-treatment renin-sodium profile associated with the subsequent risk of myocardial infarction in patients with hypertension?
The pre-treatment renin profile serves as an independent predictor of subsequent myocardial infarction risk in hypertensive patients.
In the study population, whose blood pressure before and during treatment was in a narrow range, and after other cardiovascular risk factors had been considered, the renin profile before treatment remained independently associated with the subsequent risk of myocardial infarction.
Alderman et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
