Urinary albumin excretion is associated with nocturnal systolic blood pressure in resistant hypertensives.
Microalbuminuria is a known marker of subclinical organ damage. Its prevalence is higher in patients with resistant hypertension than in subjects with blood pressure at goal. On the other hand, some patients with apparently well-controlled hypertension still have microalbuminuria. The current study aimed to determine the relationship between microalbuminuria and both office and 24-hour ambulato...
متن کاملNon-dipper hypertension is associated with slow coronary flow among hypertensives with normal coronary angiogram
AIM A person with a drop of more than 10% in nocturnal arterial blood pressure during the circadian rhythm is referred to as a dipper and one with a smaller decrease is referred to as a non-dipper. In our study, we aimed to compare the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) frame count in non-dipper and dipper hypertensive patient groups who had normal coronary artery angiography. METHO...
متن کاملnon-muscle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (myh9) polymorphism (rs4821481) is associated with urinary albumin excretion in iranian diabetic patients
conclusions although we found an association between myh9 gene polymorphism and urinary albumin excretion, the results did not show a significant association between myh9 polymorphism (rs4821481) and risk of dn in iranian diabetic patients. background myosin heavy chain 9 (myh9) gene polymorphisms have been implicated in different types of renal disease, as well as in nephropathy attributed to ...
متن کاملGeomagnetic disturbances are associated with reduced nocturnal excretion of a melatonin metabolite in humans.
The effects of geomagnetic disturbances on urinary excretion of the melatonin metabolite, 6-hydroxymelatonin sulfate (6-OHMS), were studied in conjunction with 60 Hz magnetic field (MF) and ambient light exposure in 132 electric utility workers. Geomagnetic activity was assessed using a local (equivalent amplitude or A(K), Boulder, CO) and global (average antipodal or aa) index. Personal exposu...
