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. ...
Procoagulant reactivity to laboratory acute mental stress in Africans and Caucasians, and its relation to depressive symptoms: the SABPA study
(Thieme, 2013)
The risk of cardiovascular disease is dramatically increasing in Africans (black). The prothrombotic stress response contributes to atherothrombotic disease and is modulated by depressive symptoms. We examined coagulation ...
Low grade inflammation and ECG left ventricular hypertrophy in urban African males: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2013)
BACKGROUND:
Hypertension and vascular hyperresponsiveness have been associated with structural wall abnormalities in black Africans. Whether low grade inflammation would have an additive effect is uncertain. Therefore, ...
Blood pressure variability is significantly associated with ECG left ventricular mass in normotensive Africans: the SABPA study
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)
The prognostic significance of blood pressure (BP) variability has lately enjoyed considerable attention. The need for early markers of cardiovascular dysfunction is imperative in black South Africans who have a significant ...
Arterial stiffness, ambulatory blood pressure and low-grade albuminuria in non-diabetic African and caucasian men: the SABPA study
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)
Recent evidence suggests that low-grade urinary albumin excretion is a marker of early general attenuation of vascular function, but studies are limited to Caucasian population groups. We compared low-grade urinary albumin ...
Arterial stiffness profiles: investigating various sections of the arterial tree of African and caucasian people
(Informa healthcare, 2011)
In Africans, arterial stiffness progression seems more pronounced compared to Caucasians. We compared the arterial stiffness profiles of different age groups and focused on muscular arteries and two more central arterial ...
Greater cardiovascular reactivity to a cold stimulus is due to higher cold pain perception in black Africans: the sympathetic activity and ambulatory blood pressure in Africans (SABPA) study
(Kluwer, 2012)
Objective: To evaluate the role of pain perception and pain stimulus components for blood pressure responses to stress in the black and the white African population with hypertension.
Basic methods: Cardiovascular regulation ...
Sympathetic nervous activity, depressive symptoms, and metabolic syndrome in black Africans: the sympathetic activity and ambulatory blood pressure in Africans study
(Taylor & Francis, 2012)
The aim of this study was to examine the association between sympathetic nervous activity, depressive symptoms, and metabolic syndrome in a sample of black and Caucasian Africans. The sample consisted of healthy men and ...
L-Carnitine and long-chain acylcarnitines are positively correlated with ambulatory blood pressure in humans: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2013)
The prevalence of hypertension in sub-Saharan Africa is increasing rapidly, and treatment remains challenging. Although the use of l-carnitine in treatment has received much attention, studies reporting on physiological ...
