- HYPERTENSION : - ADRENALECTOMY : - PRIMARY HYPERALDOSTERNISM : - Vascular remodeling and duration of hypertension predict outcome of adrenalectomy in primary aldosteronism patients
Remodeling of the resistance arteries is a hallmark of arterial hypertension and predicts cardiovascular events, but it was unknown whether it could also predict the blood pressure response to ...
- HYPERTENSION: Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition after experimental myocardial infarct. :- Role of the kinin B1 and B2 receptors
We sought to define the contribution of each of the 2 kinin receptors (bradykinin 1 receptor [B1R] and bradykinin 2 receptor [B2R]) to the cardioprotection of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) ...
- HYPERTENSION : - Renin inhibition by aliskiren prevents atherosclerosis progression
Hypertension is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Antihypertensive treatment, particularly blockade of the renin-angiotensin system, contributes to prevent ...
- HYPERTENSION : -White-Coat Versus Sustained Hypertension :- Increase in carotid intima-media thickness in subjects grade I hypertensive
SUMMARY : - We studied 74 never-treated grade I hypertensive subjects aged 18 to 45 years and 20 normotensive control subjects to define the rate of increase in carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) ...
- HYPERTENSION : - Analysis of heart period and arterial pressure variability in childhood hypertension
In adults, initial stages of hypertension are associated with elevated sympathetic drive and significant alterations in indirect autonomic markers. There is growing evidence that children in the ...
- HYPERTENSION & DIABETES : - Telemedicine home blood pressure measurements and progression of albuminuria in elderly people with diabetes
SUMMARY: - We assessed whether home blood pressure monitoring improved the prediction of progression of albuminuria when added to office measurements and compared it with ambulatory blood pressure ...
- HYPERTENSION : - Treatment and control of hypertension in US private physician offices, 2003–2004
Essential hypertension is the most common diagnosis in US primary care settings for middle-aged persons and seniors. Yet, data on hypertension screening, treatment, and control in such settings are ...
- RESPIRATORY MEDICINE : Unrelated comorbidity may compromise hypertension management
Clinicians may be less likely to intensify treatment for uncontrolled hypertension if patients have multiple unrelated conditions, a study of more than 70,000 primary care visits has revealed. ...
- HYPERTENSION : Hypertension-related disease burden highest in developing countries
Study findings reveal the huge burden of hypertension-related deaths worldwide is largely borne by low- and middle-income countries. The research shows that over 80% of hypertension-related deaths ...
- ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE AND HYPERTENSION: Angiotensinogen gene polymorphism predicts hypertension, and iridological constitutional classification enhances the risk for hypertension in koreans
Abstract This study investigated the relationship between iridological constitution and angiotensinogen (AGN) gene polymorphism in hypertensives. In addition to angiotensin converting enzyme gene, ...
- HYPERTENSION & FIBROSIS : UF scientists discover compound that could lead to new blood pressure drugs
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — University of Florida researchers have identified a drug compound that dramatically lowers blood pressure, improves heart function and — in a remarkable finding — prevents ...
- HIPERTENSIÓN ARTERIAL : Prevalencia del hiperaldosteronismo primario y afección cardiaca en el paciente hipertenso
El hiperaldosteronismo primario (HAP) es una causa creciente de hipertensión arterial (HTA) en los últimos años, y se lo ha asociado a un efecto deletéreo cardiovascular. Con el objetivo de conocer ...
- HIPERTENSIÓN ARTERIAL: Un mapa mundial del metabolismo podría combatir la hipertensión
Un grupo de investigadores ha creado un mapa mundial del metabolismo humano que ha hallado componentes en la orina que apuntan a algunas variantes sorprendentes que afectan a la presión sanguínea, ...
- HIPERTENSIÓN : Mapa mundial del metabolismo halla claves de la presión arterial
Investigadores que trabajan en la creación de un mapa del metabolismo humano en todo el mundo encontraron componentes en la orina que muestran diferencias que afectan la presión sanguínea, basadas no ...
- HYPERTENSION & ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME 2: Structure-based identification of small-molecule Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 activators as novel antihypertensive agents
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a key renin-angiotensin system enzyme involved in balancing the adverse effects of angiotensin II on the cardiovascular system, and its overexpression by ...
