There is considerable evidence that the form in which data is reported has an impact on the understanding of the results, and on the decisions, which are taken on the basis of the data. For example, Misselbrook and Armstrong report the results of an investigation in which hypertensive and matched nonhypertensive patients were offered treatment for chronic mild hypertension. They were provided information of the positive impact of the offered treatment on the likelihood of their suffering a future stroke. The information was presented in different formats, including RR and ARR. When the information of the benefit of treatment was given in the form of RR, 92% percent of patients responded that they would accept treatment. In contrast, when the same information was presented in the form of ARR only 75% patients reported that they would accept treatment. The confusion is not restricted to patients. Forrow et al report the results of a study in which physicians reported they were more likely to treat both hypertension and hypercholesterolemia when data were presented in the form of RR rather than ARR. 

Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are also on the rise [18]. An estimated 65 million Americans... 

Ocular adverse events, including accidental injury, angina pectoris, anxiety, arthritis, back pain, bradycardia, bronchitis, chest pain, cold syndrome, depression, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal disorder, headache, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, hypotension, infection, pain, prostate disorder, sinusitis, urinary incontinence, and urinary tract infection, occur rarely. 

However, if a man smokes, eats to the point of obesity, and has elevated blood glucose and elevated blood pressure, his peripheral nervous system wires do not respond adequately to the let s have intercourse signal from the brain—in other words, neurological innervation of the penis is rendered faulty, usually by diabetes (Fig. 14—12). Furthermore, there may not be much pressure in the plumbing — there may be atherosclerosis of the arterial supply of the penis from hypertension and hypercholesterolemia—when cGMP says relax the smooth muscle and let the... 

Gurrent theories are that arterial damage caused by hypertension and/ or hypercholesterolemia induces release of MCP-1/CGL2 from vascular endothelium or smooth muscle cells (Gerard and Rollins, 2001). The...

Women of blood group O have less of a risk of thromboembolism (15). The risk of thromboembolic complications may be greater where there is a history of diabetes, hypertension, and pre-eclamptic toxemia. In some studies there has been an association with type II hyperlipoproteinemia, hypercholesterolemia, and atheroma (62-66). Hypertension may be an additional risk factor when considered in relation to oral contraceptive use. 

Among various types of fat deposition, visceral fat type obesity is one risk factor for metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. The risk of diseases such as diabetes mellitus and coronary heart disease, as well as all-cause mortality, increases in proportion to the increase in body adipose above optimal, but intra-abdominal distribution of fat in the body is associated more closely with disease risk.
