A study of serum Vitamin D level and its association with hypertension

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2018
Background: Evidence suggests that low levels of Vitamin D may adversely affect the cardiovascular (CV) system. Several studies have been done regarding the relation and possible causative role of Vitamin D in CV disorders and its well-known risk factors;

Artery‐on‐Chip Demonstrates Mechanical and Functional Features of Healthy and Diseased Living Smooth Muscle Tissue

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This article details the development of an artery‐on‐chip platform for in vitro arterial disease modeling and therapeutic discovery. It describes the fabrication of a fibrin biomaterial scaffold seeded with iPSC‐derived smooth muscle and endothelial cells, mimicking native artery properties. Two genetic disease models showcase the platform's ability to

Phenotypes of Hypertension: Impact of Age and Sex on Hemodynamic Mechanisms

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Essential hypertension is often treated as a uniform condition. However, it encompasses distinct patterns of blood pressure elevation such as isolated systolic, systolic diastolic, and isolated diastolic hypertension, which vary in prevalence ...

Canagliflozin Alleviates Diabetic Glomerular Endothelial Injury via Melibiose in a Microbiota‐Dependent Manner

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Canagliflozin treatment reshapes the gut microbiota in DKD and elevates levels of melibiose, a metabolite derived from Roseburia intestinalis. Melibiose directly binds to and enhances the enzymatic activity of glyoxalase 1, leading to decreased methylglyoxal accumulation.

Mitochondrial Dysfunction Unravels the Potential Molecular Link Between Night Shift Work‐Related Circadian Disruption and Elevated Blood Pressure in Human and Mouse Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This diagram illustrates that night shift work disrupts circadian clock genes (like CLOCK, BMAL1) in both humans and mice. This disruption leads to mitochondrial dysfunction (imbalanced fusion/fission proteins) and increased oxidative stress, which is identified as the primary mechanism ultimately causing elevated blood pressure.

Prognostic significance of serum creatinine and uric acid in older Chinese patients with isolated systolic hypertension

, 2001
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/

The Impact of Early Postoperative Blood Pressure Variability and Hypertension Status on 90‐Day Functional Outcomes in Acute Ischemic Stroke due to Large Vessel Occlusion Patients Treated With Mechanical Thrombectomy

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Early postoperative blood pressure variability independently predicts poor 90‐day functional outcomes in AIS‐LVO patients after mechanical thrombectomy, with the adverse effect amplified in those with pre‐existing hypertension. Maintaining stable blood pressure in the early postoperative period may improve recovery in this high‐risk population ABSTRACT
