Studies in the general population suggest that central blood pressure (BP) may be superior to peripheral BP in risk assessment. Although ambulatory brachial BP is recognized as the most reliable BP measurement in the dialysis population, there is no comparison of office central BP with ambulatory BP regarding risk stratification in these patients. Methods:In a… Continue reading Central versus ambulatory blood pressure for predicting mortality and cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients: a multicenter cohort study

The role of different lipid measures for incident hypertension during more than 12 years follow-up: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study
To examine the associations of different lipid measures and related indices with incident hypertension during a median follow-up of 12.89 years. Fasting levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C and LDL-C, respectively), and related indices (TC/HDL-C and TG/HDL-C) were determined in 7335 Iranian adults (men=3270) free of hypertension,… Continue reading The role of different lipid measures for incident hypertension during more than 12 years follow-up: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study
Impact of #diverticular disease on #prostate cancer risk among #hypertensive men
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a heterogenous disease with multiple etiological factors playing a role in its development. Recently, chronic and systemic inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease were identified as key risk factors influencing its development. The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between diverticular disease (DD) (local and acute inflammation) and PCa. MethodsHypertensive… Continue reading Impact of #diverticular disease on #prostate cancer risk among #hypertensive men
Optimal Blood #Pressure Keeps Our #Brains Younger
Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a major health risk factor and the leading global cause of premature death. Hypertension is also a risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia. However, when elevated blood pressure starts impacting cerebral health is less clear. We addressed this gap by estimating how a validated measure of brain health relates… Continue reading Optimal Blood #Pressure Keeps Our #Brains Younger

Urinary #Stress Hormones, #Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Events: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Psychosocial stress is a key contributing factor to the pathogenesis of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. We examined the association of urinary stress hormone levels with incident hypertension and cardiovascular events. This prospective cohort study included 412 adults (age 48–87 years) free of hypertension from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis with measurements of urinary stress hormones… Continue reading Urinary #Stress Hormones, #Hypertension, and Cardiovascular Events: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Microbial Diversity and Abundance of Parabacteroides Mediate the Associations Between Higher Intake of #Flavonoid-Rich Foods and Lower Blood #Pressure
We assessed, for the first time, to what extent the composition of the gut microbiome might explain the cross-sectional association of habitual flavonoid and flavonoid-rich food intake with systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) in a community-based sample (N=904) from Northern Germany. Gut microbiome composition was sequenced from 16S ribosomal RNA genes. Higher total flavonoid… Continue reading Microbial Diversity and Abundance of Parabacteroides Mediate the Associations Between Higher Intake of #Flavonoid-Rich Foods and Lower Blood #Pressure
Blood #pressure visit-to-visit variability and outcomes in patients with #heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Previous studies report that blood pressure (BP) variability is associated with increased risk of adverse outcomes in patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. However, studies have not fully explored this association in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). This study sought to explore the association between visit-to-visit variability (VVV) of BP and clinical… Continue reading Blood #pressure visit-to-visit variability and outcomes in patients with #heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
Evaluation of serum #calcium differences in #hypertensive crises and control patients: A randomly matched case-control study
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,… Continue reading Evaluation of serum #calcium differences in #hypertensive crises and control patients: A randomly matched case-control study
