Early vascular aging in the HIV infected: is arterial stiffness assessment the ideal tool?
(Taylor & Francis, 2017) -
A health profile associated with excessive alcohol use independently predicts aortic stiffness over 10 years in black South Africans
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017)Objective: Black populations exhibit higher arterial stiffness than whites and suffer a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease. It is therefore important to identify modifiable health behaviours predicting large ... -
Large artery stiffness is associated with gamma-glutamyltransferase in young, healthy adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Elsevier, 2016)Increased arterial stiffness is linked to cardiovascular disease development, particularly in black populations. Since detrimental health behaviors in young adults may affect arterial stiffness, we determined whether ... -
Large artery stiffness is associated with marinobufagenin in young adults: the African-PREDICT study
(Wolters Kluwer, 2018)Objectives: The cardiotonic steroid, marinobufagenin (MBG), has been shown to play a physiological natriuretic role in response to salt intake. However, recent studies in clinical and animal models demonstrated possible ... -
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 ... -
Thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances relate to arterial stiffness and blood pressure in 6 to 8-year-old boys stratified by maternal risk
(Nature, 2018)Early cardiovascular disease (CVD) onset can be inflicted by familial cardiovascular and lifestyle risk factors. We aimed to compare phenotypic characteristics and explore associations between oxidative stress and vascular ...
