Introducción y Objetivo La prevalencia de la hipertensión arterial (HTA) en los ancianos es elevada. Su falta de control supone un factor de riesgo para la progresión del daño renal, siendo la HTA ...
Introducción y objetivos Las guías de la Sociedad Europea de Hipertensión (ESH) y de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología (ESC) del tratamiento de la hipertensión arterial (HTA), publicadas en 20031 ...
La Sociedad Europea de Hipertensión ha venido publicando, en cooperación con la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología, un documento de consenso (no puede, en sentido estricto, hablarse de una guía) que ...
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 ...
Cytochrome-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids may be important endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors, opening calcium-activated potassium channels, but their involvement in the regulation of ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Inflammation is associated with increased sympathetic drive in cardiovascular diseases. Blood-borne proinflammatory cytokines, markers of inflammation, induce cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) activity in ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
