Does chronic aspirin treatment increase blood pressure in man? 1981

E Walter, and W Kaufmann, and P Oster

In postmyocardial infarction patients longterm aspirin treatment with 1.5 g/day led to a significant increase in systolic and diastolic blood pressure after 6 months. This could not be found in the placebo- and the phenprocoumon-treated patients. After one year the blood pressure behaviour was the same in all three treatment groups. As nonsteroidal antirheumatic drugs can produce hypertension in animals, probably due to inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, blood pressure control in longterm aspirin treatment is advisable.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D009203 Myocardial Infarction NECROSIS of the MYOCARDIUM caused by an obstruction of the blood supply to the heart (CORONARY CIRCULATION).

D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet

D001241 Aspirin The prototypical analgesic used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. It has anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties and acts as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase which results in the inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. Aspirin also inhibits platelet aggregation and is used in the prevention of arterial and venous thrombosis.
