The cardiotonic steroid marinobufagenin is a predictor of increased left ventricular mass in obesity: the African-PREDICT study
(MDPI, 2020)The endogenous Na+/K+-ATPase inhibitor, marinobufagenin (MBG), strongly associates with salt intake and a greater left ventricular mass index (LVMi) in humans and was shown to promote cardiac fibrosis and hypertrophy in ... -
Left ventricular mass and urinary metabolomics in young black and white adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Elsevier, 2020)Background and aims Increased left ventricular mass is an independent predictor for cardiovascular events, and shown to be higher in black than white populations. To gain a better understanding of early factors contributing ... -
Left ventricular mass independently associates with 24-hour sodium excretion in young masked hypertensive adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Elsevier, 2019)Background Due to the known contribution of excess sodium intake on elevations in blood pressure, salt reduction regulations are being introduced in countries all over the world. To study the contribution of sodium intake ... -
Marinobufagenin and markers of early cardiovascular risk in a young black and white population: The African-PREDICT study
(North-West University (South-Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)There have been many arguments about the harmful effect of increased or low salt intake and its concurrent role in cardiovascular health. While an overwhelming amount of research has focused on the relationship between ...
