| Abstract | Hypertension guidelines underline the importance of quantification of total cardiovascular(CV)risk;an extensive evaluation of target organ damage (TOD)may increase the number of patients classified at high CV risk.The aim of our study was to assess the effect of the evaluation of different forms of TOD,in addition to ‘‘routine’’ work-up,on CV risk(CVR)stratification in a general population. Methods In 385 untreated subjects(age 57±10 years,44% males,64% hypertensives(HT),32% treated)left ventricular and carotid artery structure and carotido-femoral PWV were measured. All subjects underwent laboratory examinations.Subjects were divided into risk categories according to ESH/ESC guidelines before and after TOD evaluation. Results After routine work up patients were classified as follows:7% at average CVR,35% at low CVR,26% at moderate CVR,31 at high CVR and 1% at very high CVR. The proportion of patients at low or moderate CVR reclassified at high CVR were 6%,12%,14% and 32% after echocardiography, albuminuria, PWV and carotid ultrasound(CUS) respectively(X2 p<0.001 for all vs routine). Assessment of PWV in addition to echocardiography lead to an increase of the proportion of patients at high CVR (from 6% to 17%,p<0.001),as for PWV in addition to albuminuria (from 12 to 22%,p<0.01)but did not affect risk stratification in addition to CUS(from 32% to 35%, p ns). Conclusion Measurement of PWV may significantly change CVR stratification in addition to echocardiography and to detection of albuminuria, but not after CUS;our results confirm that evaluation of different forms of TOD is useful for a more accurate assessment of global CVR. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
