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 ...
Low testosterone and hyperkinetic blood pressure responses in a cohort of South African men: the SABPA study
(Taylor & Francis, 2013)
Hypertension (HT) and the metabolic syndrome are major problems in Africa. The role of sex hormones in the cardiovascular profile of black Africans in South Africa has not been studied. Our objective was to study the ...
Mortality and morbidity in relation to changes in albuminuria, glucose status and systolic blood pressure: an analysis of the ONTARGET and TRANSCEND studies
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2014)
Aims/hypothesis Urinary albumin excretion is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. It is uncertain whether improvement from microalbuminuria or deterioration from normoalbuminuria over time in patients with differing ...
Cardiovascular risk stratification and blood pressure variability on ambulatory and home blood pressure measurement
(Current Medicine Group, 2014)
Abstract Variability is a phenomenon attributed to most biological processes and is a particular feature of blood pressure (BP) that concerns many physicians regarding the clinical meaning and the impact on their clinical ...
Associations of suPAR with lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors
(Wiley, 2014)
Background: Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), a novel indicator of low-grade inflammation, is associated with cardiovascular disease and mortality in the general population, while an unhealthy ...
Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor as a prognostic marker of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in a black population
(Elsevier, 2015)
Background: Elevated inflammatory markers such as C–reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin–6 (IL–6) are wellknown risk factors for cardiovascular mortality. The less familiar marker, soluble urokinase plasminogen activator ...
The relationship of nitric oxide synthesis capacity, oxidative stress, and albumin-to-creatinine ratio in black and white men: the SABPA study
(Springer, 2016)
Inadequate substrate availability and increased
nitric oxide synthase inhibitor levels attenuate nitric oxide
(NO) synthesis, whereas increased vascular oxidative
stress may lead to inactivation of NO. We compared
markers ...
Liver enzymes are not directly involved in atrial fibrillation: a prospective cohort study
(Wiley, 2017)
Background
Epidemiological evidence proposes the direct involvement of the liver enzymes in atrial fibrillation. These relationships are controversial and mechanistically unclear. As part of the British Regional Heart ...
Dimethylarginines: their vascular and metabolic roles in Africans and Caucasians
(BioScintifica, 2010)
Objective
Alarming increases in hypertension and type 2 diabetes among Africans accentuate the need to identify factors that could serve as targets for prevention or treatment. In Caucasian populations, asymmetric ...
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 ...
