8-Oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine, reactive oxygen species and ambulatory blood pressure in African and Caucasian men: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Various studies indicate a relationship between increased oxidative stress and hypertension, resulting in increased DNA damage and consequent excretion of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG). The aim of this study ... -
The association of PAI-1 with 24 h blood pressure in young healthy adults is influenced by smoking and alcohol use: the African-PREDICT study
(Elsevier, 2020)Background and aims The association between plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and blood pressure is well established, but it is debatable whether raised PAI-1 levels precede or result from raised blood pressure. ... -
Can ambulatory blood pressure measurements substitute assessment of subclinical cardiovascular damage?
(Kluwer, 2012)Objective: We have previously demonstrated that markers of subclinical organ damage (SOD) improve cardiovascular risk prediction in healthy individuals. We wanted to investigate whether this additive effect of SOD was due ... -
Do we really know how common hypertension is?
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)For over a century the use of brachial blood pressures in determining cardiovascular risk has been a cornerstone of medical practices globally. Clear evidence confirms that increased blood pressure results in stroke, heart ... -
Hypertension types defined by clinic and ambulatory blood pressure in 14143 patients referred to hypertension clinics worldwide. Data from the ARTEMIS study
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)Objective: The Ambulatory blood pressure Registry TEleMonitoring of hypertension and cardiovascular rISk project was designed to set up an international registry including clinic blood pressure (CBP) and ambulatory blood ... -
Ischemic profile and cardiovascular function in African men : the SABPA study
(North-West University, 2011)Motivation: Ischemic heart disease is the eighth leading cause of death in an African population. Silent ischemia can be defined as an ischemic episode without associated pain. The clinical significance of silent ischemia ... -
L-Carnitine and long-chain acylcarnitines are positively correlated with ambulatory blood pressure in humans: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2013)The prevalence of hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa is increasing rapidly, and treatment remains challenging. Although the use of l-carnitine in treatment has received much attention, studies reporting on physiological ... -
The link between vascular deterioration and branched chain amino acids in a population with high glycated haemoglobin: the SABPA study
(Springer Link, 2013)Globally the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes, are escalating. Metabolomic studies indicated that circulating branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are associated with insulin ... -
Morning blood pressure surge and its association with arterial function and subclinical target organ damage in young South Africans : the African-PREDICT study
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2019)Motivation - The accurate measurement of blood pressure remains the most essential technique for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. In addition, there is increasing evidence that the measurement of clinic blood ... -
Serum selenium levels, the selenoprotein glutathione peroxidase and vascular protection: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2018)Selenium is an important co-factor for the optimal functioning of the antioxidant enzyme, glutathione peroxidase (GPx). Studies investigating the associations of selenium with blood pressure (BP) and hemodynamic measures ...
