(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)
The International Society of Hypertension (ISH), in fulfilment of its mission of promoting hypertension control and prevention and also of advancing knowledge globally, organizes hypertension teaching seminars or ‘summer ...
Attenuated IGF-1 predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a Black population: a five-year prospective study
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016)
Background:
Inconsistent findings are reported on whether insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is protective or harmful
in predicting hypertension, carotid wall thickness and mortality. We determined the five-year ...
Estimated carotid-femoral pulsewave velocity has similar predictive value as measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016)
Background: Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) adds significantly to traditional cardiovascular risk prediction, but is not widely available. Therefore, it would be helpful if cfPWV could be replaced by an estimated ...
Elevated estimated arterial age is associated with metabolic syndrome and low-grade inflammation
(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)
Background: Arterial age can be estimated from equations relating arterial stiffness to age and blood pressure in large cohorts. We investigated whether estimated arterial age (eAA) was elevated in patients with the metabolic ...
A biomarker of tissue damage, lactate dehydrogenase, is associated with fibulin-1 and oxidative stress in blacks: the SAfrEIC study
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016)
Context: Extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and oxidative stress is present in hypertension and associated arterial stiffness, but little is known on the physiological link among lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), fibulin-1, ...
