Hipertension Arterial - Tratamiento
Producción Científica
Arterial hypertension is a chronic disease in which prevalence
increases with age, as occurs in osteoporosis. It is
clinically silent and is only revealed in the form of complications,
an aspect that it also shares with osteoporosis.
Various alterations of calcium metabolism have been described
in association with hypertension; such alterations
can cause decreased bone mass, the principal determining
factor of fracture.1,2 Another important factor is the occurrence
of falls. Hypertensive patients may experience a
greater number of falls resulting from fainting associated
with diminished baroreflex sensitivity or hypotension secondary
to therapy.3,4 The purpose of this study was to
assess the effect of hypertension and its various therapeutic
alternatives on the risk of hip fracture.
