The role of calcium in blood pressure has been widely studied among hypertensive patients; however, no study has explored the role of calcium in hypertensive crises. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the differences in serum calcium levels between hypertensive crises patients and a 1:1 random matched controls (age-, sex-, race-, diabetes, …

#Calcium Intake Is Inversely Related to Risk of #Obesity among American Young Adults over a 30-Year Follow-Up
Calcium (Ca) is an essential nutrient that may play an important role in weight maintenance through its involvement in energy or lipid metabolism. However, little is known about the long-term associations of Ca intake with obesity risk. ObjectivesWe aimed to prospectively examine the association between cumulative Ca intake and the incidence of obesity among American …
#Hypocalcaemia predicts 12‐month re‐hospitalization in heart #failure
Potential pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has not been fully explored. The aim of the study was to reveal the association of serum calcium concentration at baseline with 12‐month clinical outcome in the disease.. ..Multivariate COX regression analysis revealed that baseline hypocalcaemia was associated with the increased risk of cardiac re‐hospitalization …
