HUMAN PARAOXONASE 1 (PON1) AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK ON A GROUP STUDY OF YOUNG HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS

Description
Summary:The incidence of cardiovascular diseases is increasing every year in Romania and hypertension population is leaning to younger ages and for that we need an effective medical tool for prevention. The objective of this study was to analyse atherogenic risk data for young hypertensive patients. Comparison of PON1 levels and atherogenic risk calculators on two hypertensive patients groups (20 newlydiscovered hypertensive patients and 20 grade I hypertension patients) and a control group (15 subjects). The AIP shows important atherogenic risk data with statistically importance for the second hypertensive group rather for the first hypertensive study group but the PON1 values are very relevant for all the groups. Determination of PON1 values may be a useful and effective quantification tool for cardiovascular disease risk if researchers take in consideration the results from their study which shows low levels of PON1 even in asymptomatic patients (control group and the first group of hypertensive patients).
