Ethnic differences regarding arterial stiffness of 6‐8‐year-old black and white boys
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017)
Objectives: Vascular deterioration is suggested to occur earlier in black than white populations, thereby increasing their risk for developing hypertension. To establish whether this is the case, we compared different ...
Selenium and large artery structure and function: a 10-year prospective study
(Springer, 2019)
Purpose
Despite selenium’s beneficial effects in counteracting oxidative stress, inflammation, and vascular endothelial dysfunction, controversial results exist regarding the long-term associations between selenium and ...
Associations between reactive oxygen species, blood pressure and arterial stiffness in black South Africans: the SABPA study
(Springer Nature, 2012)
Many mechanisms, including oxidative stress, contribute to hypertension. This study investigated the possible associations between oxidative stress, blood pressure and arterial stiffness in black South Africans. Ambulatory ...
Pulse pressure amplification and its relationship with age in young, apparently healthy black and white adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Elsevier, 2017)
Background
Pulse pressure amplification (PPA), i.e. the amplification from central arteries to the periphery, is inversely related to arterial stiffness, organ damage and mortality. It is known that arterial stiffness is ...
Inflammation as possible mediator for the relationship between lung and artirial function
(Springer, 2016)
Introduction Reduced lung function is associated with a
risk for the development of cardiovascular disease. This
association may be due to chronic inflammation which is
often present in those with reduced lung ...
