Is plasma endothelin-1 level related to renal function and smoking status but not to blood pressure : an epidemiological study?
Our data suggest that high ET-1 is not related to hypertension, but to subclinical renal dysfunction and smoking.
Intraoperative tachycardia and hypertension were associated with negative postoperative outcomes after major noncardiac surgery of long duration. These results imply that intraoperative tachycardia and hypertension may have independent effects on outcome over and above the risk imparted by underlying medical conditions.
