Testosterone and acute stress are associated with fibrinogen and Von Willebrand factor in African men: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2013)
Background: Low testosterone, acute and chronic stress and hypercoagulation are all associated with hypertension
and hypertension-related diseases. The interaction between these factors and future risk for coronary ...
A challenged sympathetic system is associated with retinal vascular calibre in a black male cohort: the SABPA Study
(Intech, 2016)
Sympathetic system hyperactivity and depression are related to cardiac remodelling in Black men. We investigated whether sympathetic system hyperactivity and depressive symptoms are related to retinal vascular dysregulation. ...
Low serum testosterone and increased diastolic ocular perfusion pressure: a risk for retinal microvasculature
(Verlag Hans Huber Hogrefe Ag, 2015)
Summary:
Background: Low levels of testosterone in men and changes in retinal microvascular calibre are both associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease risk. Sex hormones are also associated with blood flow ...
Cornell product relates to albuminuria in hypertensive black adults independently of blood pressure: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Evidence of the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and urinary albumin excretion is contradictory and limited in black adults in whom hypertensive heart disease is common. We aimed to investigate the ...
Low testosterone and hyperkinetic blood pressure responses in a cohort of South African men: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Hypertension (HT) and the metabolic syndrome are major problems in Africa. The role of sex hormones in the cardiovascular profile of black Africans in South Africa has not been studied. Our objective was to study the ...
Heart rate variability, the dynamic nature of the retinal microvasculature and cardiac stress: providing insight into the brain-retina-heart link: the SABPA study + Correction
(Nature, 2020)
Background and aims
Decreased heart-rate-variability (HRV) indicates increased sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity and modulation with a shift in the sympatho-vagal balance towards SNS predominance. Increased SNS ...
Retinal vasculature reactivity during flicker light provocation, cardiac stress and stroke risk in Africans: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2019)
Structural and functional similarities exist between the retinal, cerebral and, as previously suggested, the coronary microvasculature. Retinal microvascular structure and functionality (in response to flicker-light-indu ...
Correction to: Heart rate variability, the dynamic nature of the retinal microvasculature and cardiac stress: providing insight into the brain–retina–heart link: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2020)
Correction to: Eye
https://doi.org/10.1038/s41433-019-0515-y
Since the online publication of this article, the authors have noticed that the conclusion to the abstract contains an error. The correct abstract conclusion ...
Sex hormones associated with subclinical kidney damage and atherosclerosis in South African men: the SABPA study
(Kluwer, 2012)
Background: Hypertension and increased blood glucose are associated with subclinical kidney damage, atherosclerosis and with low testosterone values. Low testosterone in men is often accompanied by increased levels of ...
Masked hypertension and its associated cardiovascular risk in young individuals: the African-PREDICT study
(Springer Nature, 2016)
Hypertension prevalence is increasing globally, yet little is known about the occurrence of masked hypertension (MHT) in young, sub-Saharan African adults, and how it relates to elevated cardiovascular risk. The African-PREDICT ...
