Ethnic disparity in defensive coping endothelial responses: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Objectives:
Defensive coping (DefS) in Blacks has been associated with greater cardiovascular risk than in their White counterparts. We examined associations between endothelial function mental stress responses and markers ...
Comparison of Telomere Length in Black and White Teachers From South Africa: the Sympathetic Activity and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Africans Study
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)
Objective: Telomere length is a marker of biological aging that has been linked to cardiovascular disease risk. The black South African population is witnessing a tremendous increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular ...
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 ...
Defensive coping and renovascular disease risk. Adrenal fatigue in a cohort of Africans and Caucasians: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Background: Defensive coping is an established cardiovascular risk factor in Africans. Additionally, chronic, excessive or inadequate hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis (HPAA) stress responses could either increase or ...
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 ...
Progression of cardiovascular risk factors in black Africans: 3 year follow up of the SABPA cohort study
(Elsevier, 2015)
Recent work identified a high prevalence of modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among urban black South Africans. The aim was to track the progression of CVD risk factors in a multi-ethnic sample of ...
Use of metabolomics to elucidate the metabolic perturbation associated with hypertension in a black South African male cohort: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2015)
There is concern about the increasing burden of essential hypertension in urban–dwelling black South Africans, especially
males. Several studies have investigated urbanization and hypertension in South Africans, but ...
Prognostic significance of dipping in older hypertensive patients
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Background and aims. Arterial hypertension doubles the risk of coronary heart disease, heart and kidney failure, and peripheral arterial disease. Less variation in diurnal ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) patterns ...
