Mechanisms and Cardiovascular Damage in Hypertension
Angiotensin (Ang) II is considered a regulatory hormone stimulating vascular smooth muscle cell constriction, aldosterone release from the adrenal gland, and sodium reabsorption in the renal tubule. Furthermore, Ang II may be formed and act locally as a chemokine, inducing tyrosine phosphorylation, cell growth, hypertrophy, and differentiation. In addition, evidence has recently accrued showing...
متن کاملMechanisms Prevention of Hypertension, Cardiovascular Damage and Endothelial Dysfunction with Green Tea Extracts
Methods: Male Sprague-Dawley rats, 13 weeks old, randomly assigned to drinking water with or without GTE (6 mg/mL) received a vehicle, a high (700 g/ kg/d) or a low (350 g/kg/d) Ang II dose for 13 days, by osmotic mini-pumps. Blood pressure (BP) was measured with telemetry. After sacrifice, left ventricular (LV) mass index, small mesenteric artery media-tolumen ratio, and concentration–response...
متن کاملMild renal dysfunction and subclinical cardiovascular damage in primary hypertension.
The presence of mild renal dysfunction is associated with high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rates in patients with primary hypertension. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this association are currently unknown. We investigated the relation between mild renal dysfunction and subclinical cardiovascular organ damage in 358 never previously treated patients with primary hyperte...
متن کاملPulse pressure and subclinical cardiovascular damage in primary hypertension.
BACKGROUND High pulse pressure (PP) values have recently been implicated in the development and progression of large vessel atherosclerosis, small vessel disease, and in the occurrence of cardiovascular events. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between PP and subclinical cardiovascular damage in a cohort of unselected middle-aged patients (204 male, 129 female) wit...
متن کاملBlood pressure variability and cardiovascular control mechanisms in hypertension.
Blood pressure variability is the result of a complex interaction between external stimulation and several cardiovascular control mechanisms and is enhanced in all those conditions characterized by an impaired autonomic regulation of circulation. In particular, blood pressure variability is enhanced in hypertension over 24 h and may independently contribute to the cardiovascular complications o...
