Disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) during acute hypertension may contribute to hypertensive encephalopathy. In this study we tested the hypothesis that, in chronic hypertension, vascular changes might influence the susceptibility of the BBB to disruption. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive rats (WKY), 3-4 months of age, were anesthetized and acute hypertension was p...

Acute hypertension disrupts the blood-brain barrier and may neutralize the negative charge on cerebral endothelium. The goal of this study was to determine the effects of molecular charge on permeability of the blood-brain barrier during acute hypertension. Intravital fluorescent microscopy and fluorescein-labeled dextrans were used to evaluate disruption of the blood-brain barrier during acute...

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the causes of disability and death. Levels of Uric acid, blood glucose, and dyslipidemia are the risk factors for the disease, but their role in electrocardiographic changes has not been studied. Based on this, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between some demographic and clinical characteristics with electrocardiographic chang...

We present a case of severe cardiovascular emergency in 21-year-old patient — malignant hypertension complicated by acute kidney injury and thrombotic microangiopathy.

The effect of acute arterial hypertension on proximal tubular fluid reabsorption was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by measuring proximal tubular flow with a nonobstructive optical method. Under control conditions, spontaneous tubular flow was oscillating at 0.02-0.03 Hz in Sprague-Dawley rats. Acute hypertension induced an immediate increase of me...
