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 ... -
Leptin : a bi-ethnic approach to unravel its role in cardiovascular disease, the SABPA study
(2015)Motivation - The prevalence of cardiovascular disease is on the increase in sub-Saharan Africa largely owing to lifestyle changes associated with urbanisation. Traditional diets are being replaced with diets high in saturated ... -
Leptin relates to prolonged cardiovascular recovery after acute stress in Africans: the SABPA study
(Elsevier, 2016)Background and aims Heightened cardiovascular reactivity and delayed recovery to stress are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Africans, who are more prone to develop hypertension, show greater ... -
Serum calcium revisited: associations with 24-h ambulatory blood pressure and cardiovascular reactivity in Africans
(Nature, 2010)Sub-Saharan Africans face an increasing burden of hypertension. Although controversial, recent experimental evidence strongly suggests that serum calcium contributes to elevated blood pressure through increased vascular ...
