Blunted neuro-endocrine responses linking depressive symptoms and ECG left ventricular hypertrophy in black Africans: the SABPA study
(Wolters Kluwer, 2014)
Objective: Chronic psychosocial stress as experienced in an urban environment plays an important role in the aetiology of depression-related cardiovascular risk. It is uncertain whether acute mental stress responses aggravate ...
Depression, cardiometabolic function and left ventricular hypertrophy in African men and women: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Depressive symptoms are associated with an increased risk for developing cardiovascular diseases, driven by its link to the metabolic syndrome (MetS). This phenomenon, however, still needs to be investigated in the African ...
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 ...
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.

Facilitated defensive coping, silent ischaemia and ECG left-ventricular hypertrophy: the SABPA study
(Kluwer, 2012)
Background: Defensive active coping responses (being-in-control, acceptance of the stressor as reality) have been associated with vascular hyper-responsiveness in urban Africans. However, the association between active ...
Depressive symptoms and sub-clinical atherosclerosis in Africans: role of metabolic syndrome, inflammation and sympathoadrenal function
(Elsevier, 2011)
Depressive symptoms have been consistently associated with sub-clinical atherosclerosis and future risk of coronary heart disease events. However, the pathways linking depression and coronary atherosclerosis are poorly ...
Depressive symptoms and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure in Africans: the SABPA study
(Hindawi, 2012)
Disturbances in circadian rhythm might play a central role in the neurobiology of depression. We examined the association
between depressive symptoms and 24-hour ambulatory BP in a sample of 405 (197 black and 208 Caucasian) ...
