Increased sympathetic activity in normotensive offspring of malignant hypertensive parents compared to offspring of normotensive parents.
Malignant hypertension seems to be the consequence of very high blood pressure. Furthermore, an increase in sympathetic and renin-angiotensin system activity is considered to be the main mechanisms producing malignant hypertension. In the present study, 10 offspring of malignant hypertensive (OMH) parents (age 28 +/- 5 years, 7 males, 3 females, 2 white and 8 non-white) and 10 offspring of norm...
متن کاملHyperinsulinemia in normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents.
Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance have been extensively reported in adult patients with essential hypertension. The aim of this study was to examine serum glucose and insulin levels both in the fasting state and after 0.25 g/kg IV glucose and to relate those findings to the status of intracellular Na+ and red blood cell Na(+)-Li+ countertransport in a population of 21 normolipemic normote...
متن کاملCircadian blood pressure rhythm in normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore the circadian blood pressure (BP) rhythm using ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) in normotensive children with a family history of essential hypertension. METHODS Group 1 consisted of children with hypertensive mothers and/or fathers (n = 20), Group 2 consisted of children with hypertensive grandparents (n = 20), and Group 3 consisted of children ...
متن کاملAbnormal renal responses to calcium entry blockade in normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents.
In nine young normotensive subjects with no family history of hypertension and nine age-matched normotensive subjects with one parent with essential hypertension, effective renal plasma flow (p-aminohippuric acid clearance), glomerular filtration rate (inulin clearance), and excretion of sodium and exogenously administered lithium were measured for 90 minutes before and after administration of ...
متن کاملLeft ventricular mass and functions in normotensive offspring of hypertensive parents: an echocardiographic study.
OBJECTIVE Published observations about cardiovascular alterations in normotensive individuals genetically predisposed to develop essential hypertension are conflicting. We tested the hypothesis that abnormalities in left ventricular mass and/or functions may be present in normotensive children of hypertensive parents. METHODS One hundred normotensive offsprings (6 to 18 year age) of hypertens...
