| Popis: | BACKGROUND: Hypertension and central obesity are risk factors of cardiovascular disease. Epidemiology studies have shown that these two conditions are closely linked and often occur simultaneously. Inflammation is an underlying pathomechanism in hypertension and obesity. Vascular inflammation is related to coagulation pathway, whereby high level of inflammation increases the risk of atherothrombosis event. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between inflammation and fibrinolysis in hypertensive centrally obese subjects compared with hypertensive non obese subjects. METHODS: This was a cross sectional study conducted in October 2009-June 2010 involving 53 eligible subjects according to the following criteria: men or women aged 30-65 years, had neither diabetes (FPG |
