Double product and end-organ damage in African and Caucasian men: the SABPA study
(ELSEVIER, 2013)
Background: Increasing urbanisation in sub-Saharan African countries is causing a rapid increase in cardiovascular
disease. Evidence suggests that Africans have higher blood pressures and a higher prevalence of
hyperte ...
Chronic distress and acute vascular stress responses associated with ambulatory blood pressure in low-testosterone African men: the SABPA Study
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
It is known that low testosterone (T) and high cortisol levels are associated with hypertension as well as with chronic stress, linking stress with elevated blood pressure (BP). However, the association between acute ...
Associations between reactive oxygen species, blood pressure and arterial stiffness in black South Africans: the SABPA study
(Springer Nature, 2012)
Many mechanisms, including oxidative stress, contribute to hypertension. This study investigated the possible associations between oxidative stress, blood pressure and arterial stiffness in black South Africans. Ambulatory ...
