Pacemaker‐Mediated Programmable Hypertension Control Therapy
BackgroundMany patients requiring a pacemaker have persistent hypertension with systolic blood pressures above recommended levels. We evaluated a pacemaker‐based Programmable Hypertension Control (PHC) therapy that uses a sequence of variably timed ...

Changes in the prevalence, treatment and control of hypertension in Germany? : a clinical-epidemiological study of 50.000 primary care patients [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Medical societies have developed guidelines for the detection, treatment and control of hypertension (HTN). Our analysis assessed the extent to which such guidelines were implemented in Germany in 2003 and 2001. METHODS: Using standardized

BACKGROUND: numerous reports have linked impaired kidney function to a higher risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. There are relatively few data relating to kidney function in the very elderly. METHODS: the Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial (

Is Isolated Systolic Hypertension Worse Than Combined Systolic/Diastolic Hypertension? [PDF]
J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). 2012;14:808–809. ©2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.New developments in cardiovascular translational sciences have significantly advanced our understanding of the endovascular biology of blood pressure. Reductions in vascular elasticity and vessel compliance of conduit arteries are key components of both ISH and SDH.

Prognostic significance of serum creatinine and uric acid in older Chinese patients with isolated systolic hypertension [PDF]
UNLABELLED: We examined the relation of serum creatinine and uric acid to mortality and cardiovascular disease in older (aged >/=60 years) Chinese patients with isolated systolic hypertension (systolic/diastolic blood pressure >/=160/

Relevance. Until now, there is an ongoing debate about the value of different indicators of blood pressure (BP) − systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse blood pressure (PBP) as predictors of essential hypertension (EH).

Improved ventricular function during inhalation of PGI(2) aerosol partly relies on enhanced myocardial contractility [PDF]
Inhaled prostacyclin (PGI(2)) aerosol induces selective pulmonary vasodilation. Further, it improves right ventricular ( RV) function, which may largely rely on pulmonary vasodilation, but also on enhanced myocardial contractility.

Concentric left ventricular remodeling and aortic stiffness: a comparison of obesity and hypertension. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Increased thoracic ascending aortic stiffness is thought to contribute to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and increased mortality, a pattern seen in hypertension.

Various disorders of the diastolic function of left ventricle are formed due to concentric and eccentric types of hypertrophy. The processes of elevation of myocardial stiffness and reduction of lard-bore arterial vessel elastance develop parallel and at
