Although the reasons are unknown, the prevalence of arterial hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in the adult population with Down syndrome (SD) is anecdotal. To better understand this finding, we evaluated the haemodynamic characteristics of a cohort of adults with SD. ⋯ The most common haemodynamic profile observed in adults with SD consisted of hypochronotropism and hypervolaemia, with normal values for peripheral vascular resistance and optimal mean BP values. There were no participants with hypertension in our sample.

Dyslipidaemia and other cardiovascular risk factors in relation to manifest cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in the Canary Islands.
Cardiovascular disease has a negative impact on the vital prognosis of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), where dyslipidaemia (DLP) and arterial hypertension (AHT) are considered the most prevalent risk factors. The objective of this study was 1) to assess the relationship between diagnosed DLP and cardiovascular disease in COPD patients and compare it with other known cardiovascular risk factors and 2) to determine the relationship between the different cardiovascular comorbidities and the severity groups according to the GOLD 2017 classification. ⋯ DLP was related to CVA, CKD, and PAD. AHT and T2DM are the conditions that mostly relate to HF and CVA.
