NOD2/CARD15 gene polymorphism in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: is Hungary different?

The risk for the primary outcome, all-cause death, and MI, but not stroke, progressively increased with low diastolic blood pressure. Excessive reduction in diastolic pressure should be avoided in patients with CAD who are being treated for hypertension.
