Mineralocorticoid hypertension
Hypertension affects about 10 - 25% of the population and is an important risk factor for cardiovascular and renal disease. The renin-angiotensin system is frequently implicated in the pathophysiology of hypertension, be it primary or secondary. The prevalence of primary aldosteronism increases with the severity of hypertension, from 2% in patients ...

On the importance of including both sexes in animal studies – insights from home‐cage monitoring
ABSTRACT A review of behavioural studies using home‐cage monitoring (HCM) systems revealed that over 61% of studies used only male subjects, with only 24% including both sexes, despite evidence of substantial behavioural differences between male and female animals. This bias could influence the outcomes of biomedical research.

Monogenic hypertension — state-of-the-art knowledge
Arterial hypertension is a severe public health problem. Due to a sedentary lifestyle and the obesity epidemic, the prevalence of primary arterial hypertension increases every year. However, the presence of secondary hypertension should not be overlooked.

ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.

MINERALOCORTICOID ANTAGONISM: SELECTIVENESS GIVES MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEART FAILURE MANAGEMENT
The review takes into consideration the novel data on heart failure treatment: application of mineralocorticoid antagonists. The pathogenetic points are highlighted that are proved by clinical trials, as epidemiological concerns. Further opportunites are

ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Differential Effects of Glucocorticoids and Mineralocorticoids on the mRNA Expression of Colon Ion Transporters in Infant Rats [PDF]
Several epithelial ion transporters are developmentally regulated in the preweaning period, at the time when the circulating levels of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid hormones increase.

Abstract Socio‐economic status (SES) has been associated with incident and prevalent heart failure (HF), as well as its morbidity and mortality. However, the precise nature of the relationship between SES and HF remains unclear due to inconsistent data. This study aims to provide a comprehensive assessment and data synthesis of the relationship between

Abstract Aim Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition managed in both primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC)‐based settings. HF patients managed in these two settings may differ in their demography, comorbidities and outcomes, so we aimed to compare the patient management in PC and HC in the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) in Sweden.
