- OXIDATIVE STRESS, BUTHIONINE SULFOXIMINE, HYPERTENSION & SYMPATHETIC TONE SYSTEM: Role of sympathetic tone in BSO-induced hypertension in mice
Background We investigated the contribution of the sympathetic tone to the hypertension induced by chronic administration of buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) and characterized this model in ...
- FULLTEXT: -ALWAYS 'S GOOD THE REGRESION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHY IN HYPERTENSION?: -Risk reduction after regression of echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertension: a meta-analysis
Background The prognostic relevance of echocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) regression in hypertension is uncertain. The aim of this study was to perform an updated ...
- FULLTEXT: -ORTOSTATIC BLOOD PRESSURE RESPOND & HYPERTENSION: -Disorders of orthostatic blood pressure response are associated with cardiovascular disease and target organ damage in hypertensive patients
Background The prevalence and clinical significance of orthostatic hypertension (OHT) remain largely undetermined in hypertensive patients. This study investigated the association of OHT ...

- HYPERTENSION AND FIBROSIS IN THE HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY: -Fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Chicken or the egg?
August 11, 2010- Boston, MA - Is myocardial fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) a result of longstanding disease, or can it emerge early in the process, perhaps even as one cause of HCM? ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Nifedipine induces peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- activation in macrophages and suppresses the progression of atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein e-deficient mice
Objective Nifedipine, an L-type calcium channel blocker, protects against the progression of atherosclerosis. We investigated the molecular basis of the antiatherosclerotic effect of ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Economic analysis of a tailored behavioral intervention to improve blood pressure control for primary care patients

- HYPERTENSION: -Factors affecting the variability of home-measured blood pressure and heart rate: the finn-home study
Objective: Information of the determinants affecting home blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) variability is very limited. The objective of the study was to assess the determinants of home BP ...
- HYPERTENSION: -EPIDEMIOLOGÍA CLÍNICA: -TOBACCO & HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: -Association of environmental tobacco smoke exposure with elevated home blood pressure in Japanese women: the Ohasama study
Objective: Only a few of numerous epidemiological studies have demonstrated a positive association between environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure and blood pressure (BP), despite ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Validation of genetic association in apelin-AGTRL1 system with hypertension in a larger han chinese population
Background and objective: We have recently resequenced apelin and AGTRL1 genes to identify candidate polymorphisms in family-based association with hypertension and related phenotypes. In ...
- CENTRAL SYSTOLIC HYPERTENSION ASOCIATED A BRAIN SMALL VESSELS DISEASE
Abstract Background Recent studies have reported the association: between advanced arterial stiffness and brain small vessel diseases (SVDs). Two possible hemodynamic ...
