- VASCULAR MEDICINE, ENDOTHELIUM & HYPERTENSION: -Endothelial-regenerating cells
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause for cardiovascular diseases and is based on endothelial dysfunction. A growing body of evidence suggests the contribution of bone marrow–derived endothelial ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Arterial stiffness is regulated by nitric oxide and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor during changes in blood flow in humans
Cytochrome-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids may be important endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors, opening calcium-activated potassium channels, but their involvement in the regulation of ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Dietary phosphorus, blood pressure, and incidence of hypertension in the atherosclerosis risk in communities study and the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis
Greater phosphorus intake has been associated with lower levels of blood pressure in cross-sectional studies. This association, however, has not been assessed prospectively. We studied 13 444 ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Lifetime risk factors and arterial pulse wave velocity in adulthood
Limited and partly controversial data are available regarding the relationship of arterial pulse wave velocity and childhood cardiovascular risk factors. We studied how risk factors identified in ...
- VASCULAR MEDICINE & HYPERTENSION: -Wave reflection and arterial stiffness in the prediction of 15-year all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities
The value of increased arterial wave reflection, usually assessed by the transit time–dependent augmentation index and augmented pressure (Pa), in the prediction of cardiovascular events may have ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Amino-terminal Pro–B-Type natriuretic peptide improves cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk prediction in the population
Increased circulating amino-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic (NT-proBNP) levels are a marker of cardiac dysfunction but also associate with coronary heart disease and stroke. We aimed to investigate ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Effects of potassium chloride and potassium bicarbonate on endothelial function, Cardiovascular risk factors, and bone turnover in mild hypertensives
To determine the effects of potassium supplementation on endothelial function, cardiovascular risk factors, and bone turnover and to compare potassium chloride with potassium bicarbonate, we carried ...
- HYPERTENSION: -DIFFERENT DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR PRIMARY ALDOSTERONISM: -Impact of different diagnostic criteria during adrenal vein sampling on reproducibility of subtype diagnosis in patients with primary aldosteronism
In patients with primary aldosteronism, adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is considered the only reliable technique to distinguish between unilateral and bilateral autonomous production of aldosterone, but ...
- HYPERTENSION: -BRAIN & PERIVASCULAR MACROPHAGES: -Brain perivascular macrophages and the sympathetic response to inflammation in rats after myocardial infarction
Inflammation is associated with increased sympathetic drive in cardiovascular diseases. Blood-borne proinflammatory cytokines, markers of inflammation, induce cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) activity in ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Sympathetic nonadrenergic transmission contributes to autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord–injured individuals
Autonomic dysreflexia is a hypertensive episode in spinal cord–injured individuals induced by exaggerated sympathetic activity and thought to be -adrenergic mediated. -Adrenoceptor antagonists have ...
- BAROREFLEX SENSITIVITY: -HYPERTENSION: -Receptor activity-modifying protein 1 increases baroreflex sensitivity and attenuates angiotensin-induced hypertension
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a powerful vasodilator that interacts with the autonomic nervous system. A subunit of the CGRP receptor complex, receptor activity-modifying protein 1 ...
- OXIDATIVE STRESS IN UREMIA INDUCED HYPERTENSION: -Stress in erythropoietin-induced hypertension in uremic rats
Abstract & Background Erythropoietin (EPO) administration in uremic rats leads to an increase in blood pressure (BP). Because chronic renal failure has been associated with oxidative ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Noninvasive brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy
Background The elevation of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) could be an important prognostic factor in patients with hypertension. We hypothesized that noninvasive brachial-ankle ...
- HYPERTENSION & DIABETES & GLP-1 INHIBITOR EXENATIDE: -Blood pressure effects of an antidiabetic agent
The combination of diabetes and hypertension is not only common, and increasingly so, but is responsible for a substantial proportion of all cardiovascular morbidity and mortality around the world. ...
- FULLTEXT: -HYPERTENSION: -Blood pressure control and survival in the United States
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality began to decline in the United States even before widespread use of antihypertensive therapy. By that time, a direct linear relationship between blood pressure ...
