Left ventricular mass independently associates with masked hypertension in young healthy adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)Objective: Masked hypertension is reportedly common in young adults. However, it is unknown if these masked hypertensive individuals already present with organ damage. We determined whether a relationship exists between ... -
Marinobufagenin and left ventricular mass in young adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Sage, 2018)Background The endogenous steroidal inhibitor of sodium–potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphate and natriuretic hormone, marinobufagenin, plays a physiological role in ionic homeostasis. Animal models suggest that ... -
Thresholds for pulse wave velocity, urine albumin creatinine ratio and left ventricularmass index using SCORE, Framingham and ESH/ESC risk charts
(Kluwer, 2012)Aims: Markers of subclinical target organ damage (TOD) increase cardiovascular (CV) risk prediction beyond traditional risk factors. We wanted to establish thresholds for three markers of TOD based on absolute CV risk in ...
