- GENETIC OF HIPERTENSION: -Genome-wide profiling of blood pressure in adults and children
Hypertension is an important determinant of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and has a substantial heritability, which is likely of polygenic origin. The aim of this study was to assess ...
- DEPENDENCE OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION OF THE NORMAL-UPPER BLOOD PRESSURE: -Upper normal blood pressures predict incident atrial fibrillation in healthy middle-aged men
Hypertension is the most prevalent risk factor for incident atrial fibrillation (AF). Recently, even high normal blood pressures (BPs) have been established as predictive of AF in women. ...
- HYPERTENSION & NEPHROLOGY: - Prognostic role of ambulatory blood pressure measurement in patients with nondialysis
BACKGROUND Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurement allows a better risk stratification in essential hypertension compared with office blood pressure measurement, but its prognostic ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Influence of time of day of blood pressure–lowering treatment on cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes
OBJECTIVE We prospectively investigated in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes if bedtime treatment with ≥1 hypertension medications exerts better blood pressure control and ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Central versus ambulatory blood pressure in the prediction of all-cause and cardiovascular mortalities
Objectives: Central systolic (SBP-C) and/or pulse pressure (PP-C) better predicts cardiovascular events than does peripheral blood pressure. The present study compared the ...
- GENETIC HYPERTENSION: -Normotension in Lewis and Dahl salt-resistant rats is governed by different genes
Objectives: Inbred rodent models simulating essential hypertension and normotension are useful tools in discovering genes controlling blood pressure (BP) homeostasis. An analysis of a F2 ...
- POVERTY, SALT AND HYPERTENSION: -Gender-specific effects of caste and salt on hypertension in poverty: a population-based study
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the risk of developing hypertension in those living in poverty in rural India. We examined gender and caste influences on risk factors for ...
- HYPERTENSION: -An oral formulation of angiotensin-(1-7) produces cardioprotective effects in infarcted and isoproterenol-treated rats
In this study we evaluated the cardiac effects of a pharmaceutical formulation developed by including angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7) in hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD), in normal, ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Stimulation of renin secretion by catecholamines is dependent on adenylyl cyclases 5 and 6
The sympathetic nervous system stimulates renin release from juxtaglomerular cells via the β-adrenoreceptor-cAMP pathway. Recent in vitro studies have suggested that the calcium-inhibited ...
- HYPERTENSION: -Sympathetic response to insulin is mediated by melanocortin 3/4 receptors in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus
Hyperinsulinemia increases sympathetic nerve activity and contributes to cardiovascular dysfunction in obesity and diabetes. Neurons of the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) regulate ...
- HYPERTENSION & PREGNANCY & AIR POLLUTION: -Air pollution, blood pressure, and the risk of hypertensive complications during pregnancy
Exposure to air pollution is associated with elevated blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. We assessed the associations of exposure to particulate matter (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) ...
- HYPERTENSION & GREATER COFFEE CONSUMTION: -Greater coffee intake in men is associated with steeper age-related increases in blood pressure
Abstract & Background Administration of caffeine or caffeinated coffee in laboratory and ambulatory settings results in small to moderate acute increases in blood pressure ...
- OXIDATIVE STRESS LINKING WITH HYPERTENSION: -Oxidative stress causes renal Angiotensin II type 1 receptor upregulation, Na+/H+ exchanger 3 overstimulation, and hypertension
Oxidative stress modulates angiotensin (Ang) II type 1 receptor (AT1R) expression and function. Ang II activates renal Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3) to increase sodium reabsorption, but the ...
- VITAMIN D & HYPERTENSION: -Vitamin D and the prevention of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases: a review of the current evidence
Abstract Vitamin D plays an essential role in bone mineralization and calcium homeostasis. More recently, there has been growing evidence for a role of vitamin D in extraskeletal ...
- TOP THE PAGE: - FULLTEXT: -HYPERTENSION & VITAMIN D: -Vitamin D and subsequent systolic hypertension among women
Abstract & Background We examined data from a cohort of Caucasian women for evidence of an association between serum vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D)) insufficiency and ...
