Nitric oxide synthesis capacity, ambulatory blood pressure and end organ damage in a black and white population: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2016)
Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis capacity is determined by the availability of substrate(s) such as l-arginine and the influence of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric ...
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 ...
Alcohol intake, hypertension development and mortality in black South Africans
(Sage Publishing, 2016)
Background: Excessive alcohol intake is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and predicts cardiovascular and
all-cause mortality. We determined which alcohol marker (self-reported alcohol intake, gamma-glutamy ...
Attenuated IGF-1 predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a Black population: a five-year prospective study
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016)
Background:
Inconsistent findings are reported on whether insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is protective or harmful
in predicting hypertension, carotid wall thickness and mortality. We determined the five-year ...

(Wolters Kluwer, 2016)
Objective: The Ambulatory blood pressure Registry TEleMonitoring of hypertension and cardiovascular rISk project was designed to set up an international registry including clinic blood pressure (CBP) and ambulatory blood ...
Sodium and potassium intake in South Africa: an evaluation of 24-hour urine collections in a white, black, and Indian population
(Elsevier, 2016)
Limited number of studies on salt intake has been conducted in the South Africa. The present study established the sodium and potassium excretion (24-hour urine collection) of three different South African populations. In ...
