Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]
, 2017 Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and

Pulmonary arterial hypertension [PDF]
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2009 Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a progressive disease of pulmonary vasculature characterized by increased mean pulmonary arterial pressure and elevated vascular resistance with normal left-sided pressures, differentiating it from left-sided heart disease.

Effect of a reduction in glomerular filtration rate after nephrectomy on arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics: rationale and design of the EARNEST study [PDF]
, 2014 Background: There is strong evidence of an association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease. To date, however, proof that a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a causative factor in cardiovascular disease is ...

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2008 Significant advances in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have occurred over the last 10 years, starting with the approval of epoprostenol in 1998. Subsequently, multiple additional medications have received approval, including a subcutaneous prostacyclin, an inhaled prostacyclin, and oral medications in 2 separate classes.

Arterial stiffness and hypertension
Clinical Hypertension, 2023 Arterial stiffness and hypertension are closely related in pathophysiology. Chronic high blood pressure (BP) can lead to arterial wall damage by mechanical stress, endothelial dysfunction, increased inflammation, oxidative stress, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation.

Symposium 2: New renal protection strategies in mellitus diabetes type 2
Revista de la Sociedad Argentina de Diabetes, 2022 In recent years, the NKF National Kidney Foundation modified the term "diabetic nephropathy" which is only used for biopsy-confirmed pathology using the termof diabetic kidney disease (CKD) in order to understand that some patients with diabetes can have

, 2022 Hypertension is a complex, multifactorial and multisystem disorder and a leading cause of morbidity and premature death globally. Major guidelines define it as systolic blood pressure > 130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 80 mmHg. Hypertension is a very common disease with prevalence rates of about 30% in adults worldwide.

Environmental Pollutant Hexachlorobenzene Induces Hypertension In a Rat Model [PDF]
, 2018 Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a dioxin-like environmental pollutant, widely distributed in the environment. New research links exposure to high levels of persistent organic environmental toxicants to cardiovascular disease, however little is known about the
