Left ventricular diastolic function and its relationship with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and amino-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide: the African-PREDICT study

Viana, B. (North-West University, 2018)

Motivation: The association of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function markers with the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) and amino-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide (Nt-proBNP) in older and diseased ...
The relationship of pulse pressure and pulse pressure amplification with the reninangiotensin- aldosterone system in young adults : the African-PREDICT study

Mokae, Nametsegang Lorato (North-West University (South-Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2019)

Motivation: There are number of factors that are known to contribute to the elevation of blood pressure (BP) and the subsequent increase in cardiovascular risk. One of the most prominent systems is the renin-angiotensi ...
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system and left ventricular mass in young black and white adults: the African-PREDICT study

Du Toit, Wessel Lodewikus (North-West University (South-Africa), 2020)

Motivation. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a central regulatory component implicated in sodium and water homeostasis that affects blood volume and pressure. Dysregulation of this system results in increased blood ...
