Nocturnal blood pressure, 3–methoxy–4–hydroxyphenylglycol and carotid intima–media thickness: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2013)
Background: Research demonstrated a significant relationship between elevated nocturnal blood pressure and sym-pathetic hyperactivity. The study aimed to investigate possible associations between norepinephrine ...
Depression symptoms facilitated fibrinolytic dysregulation and future coronary artery disease risk in a black male cohort: the sympathetic activity and ambulatory blood pressure in Africans study
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017)
Background: Hypercoagulation is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Whether depression symptoms dysregulate inflammatory and hemostatic markers in an African cohort is not known; therefore, we assessed the ...
Cornell product relates to albuminuria in hypertensive black adults independently of blood pressure: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Evidence of the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and urinary albumin excretion is contradictory and limited in black adults in whom hypertensive heart disease is common. We aimed to investigate the ...
Low testosterone and hyperkinetic blood pressure responses in a cohort of South African men: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Hypertension (HT) and the metabolic syndrome are major problems in Africa. The role of sex hormones in the cardiovascular profile of black Africans in South Africa has not been studied. Our objective was to study the ...
Progression of cardiovascular risk factors in black Africans: 3 year follow up of the SABPA cohort study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Recent work identified a high prevalence of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among urban black South Africans. The aim was to track the progression of CVD risk factors in a multi-ethnic sample of ...
Low grade inflammation and ECG left ventricular hypertrophy in urban African males: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2013)
BACKGROUND:
Hypertension and vascular hyperresponsiveness have been associated with structural wall abnormalities in black Africans. Whether low grade inflammation would have an additive effect is uncertain. Therefore, ...
Chronic depression symptoms and salivary NOx are associated with retinal vascular dysregulation: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2016)
Background
Depression has been associated with impaired nitric oxide (NO)-mediated vasodilation and vascular dysregulation (VD). Whether depression and NO levels will disturb retinal haemodynamics is not clear.
Objectives ...
QTc prolongation, increased NT-proBNP and pre-clinical myocardial wall remodeling in excessive alcohol consumers: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2018)
Alcohol contributes greatly to vascular and structural modifications. Due to differences in the metabolism and tolerance of alcohol between ethnic groups, the manner of these modifications may differ. We investigated the ...
Baroreceptor sensitivity, cardiovascular responses and ECG left ventricular hypertrophy in men: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
Aim. Research has shown a significant relationship between hypertension and attenuated baroreceptor sensitivity (BRS), which in turn reflects alterations of autonomic control of the cardiovascular system. The objective of ...
Emotional stress as a risk for hypertension in sub-Saharan Africans: Are we ignoring the odds?
(Springer Link, 2017)
"Globally most interventions focus on improving lifestyle habits and treatment regimens to combat hypertension as a non-communicable disease (NCD). However, despite these interventions and improved medical treatments, blood ...
