Stroke and (or) myocardial infarction attributable to modifiable risk factors in Henan, China
Estimating population attributable risks of potential modifiable risk factors for stroke and (or) myocardial infarction may be useful for planning cardiovascular disease (CVD) preventive strategies. A population of 17,292 adults aged 18  years and older from a cross-sectional survey was included in the study. The binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between risk factors with disease events, then population attributable fraction according to prevalence and odds ratios were calculated to identify and compa re the effects at different subpopulations.

Significant Interaction of Hypertension and Homocysteine on Neurological Severity in First-ever Ischemic Stroke Patients
It is not known whether combination of hypertension and high homocysteine (HHcy) impacts on stroke-related neurological severity. Our aim was to determine whether there is an interaction of hypertension and HHcy on neurological severity in first-ever ischemic stroke patients.

Ethanol withdrawal increases blood pressure and vascular oxidative stress: a role for angiotensin type 1 receptors
We evaluated the possible mechanisms underlying the oxidative stress induced by ethanol withdrawal. With this purpose, we verified the role of AT1 receptors in such response. Male Wistar rats were treated with ethanol 3-9% (vol./vol.) for 21 days. Ethanol withdrawal was induced by abrupt discontinuation of the treatment. Experiments were performed 48 h after ethanol discontinuation. Increased plasma levels of angiotensin II were detect after ethanol withdrawal. Losartan (10 mg/kg; p.o. gavage), a selective AT1 receptor antagonist impeded the increase in blood pressure induced by ethanol withdrawal. (Source: Journal of the ...

Stroke and (or) myocardial infarction attributable to modifiable risk factors in Henan, China
Estimating population attributable risks (PARs) of potential modifiable risk factors for stroke and (or) myocardial infarction (MI) may be useful for planning cardiovascular disease (CVD) preventive strategies. A population of 17292 adults aged 18 years and older from a cross-sectional survey were included in the study. The binary logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between risk factors with disease events, then population attributable fraction (PAF) according to prevalence and odds ratios were calculated to identify and compare the effects at different subpopulations.

Dose-response relationship between visceral fat index and untreated hypertension in Chinese rural population: the RuralDiab study
The study aimed to explore the association of visceral fat index (VFI) with untreated hypertension in different genders and evaluate the practicability of VFI as a marker for discriminating untreated hypertension in Chinese rural population. A total of 12,536 eligible participants aged 35 years and older were derived from the RuralDiab study in China. VFI was assessed with bioelectrical impendence methods and divided into sex-specific quartiles. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline regression were performed.

Comparison of three formulas to estimate 24-hour urinary sodium and potassium excretion in patients hospitalized in a hypertension unit
Measurements of 24-hour urinary sodium (24hrUNa) and potassium (24hrUK) excretion are useful in hypertensives but 24-hour urine collection may be difficult or unreliable. We compared three formulas (Tanaka, Kawasaki, Pan American Health Organization [PAHO]) proposed to estimate 24hrUNa and 24hrUK based on spot urine measurements. We studied 382 patients admitted to a hypertension unit. Sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels were measured using standard laboratory methods in a morning urine sample, followed by 24-hour urinary collection.

Rationale and evidence for the development of a durable device-based cardiac neuromodulation therapy for hypertension
We assessed the feasibility of achieving acute, sustained blood pressure reductions through the use of cardiac pacing algorithms delivered via standard dual-chamber pacing based on introducing short atrio-ventricular (AV) delays (SAVD). Eighteen hypertensive subjects (57.3 ± 9.8 years old; 10 male and 8 female) with average initial systolic and diastolic blood pressures of 151.2 ± 17.6/92.2 ± 12.7 mmHg already scheduled to undergo an invasive electrophysiology procedure were included in this study.

Age- and gender-dependent associations of blood pressure and serum sodium and potassium —renal and extrarenal regulations
Association analyses between blood pressure (BP) and serum sodium and potassium for 14,657 men and 16,977 women between ages 12 and 85 years show that responses of BP to serum sodium and potassium are age and gender dependent. The data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2003 and 2014. Associations between serum sodium and BP are positive only for advanced age groups and for serum sodium level greater than 139 –140 mmol/L in less advanced groups. These positive associations can be explained by traditional renal-centered mechanism. (Source: Journal of the American Society of Hypertension)

Integrated flow-mediated vasodilation response predicts cardiovascular events in elderly patients with cardiovascular risk factors: the Japan Morning Surge –Home Blood Pressure study
The integrated flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) response has been associated with cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, but the association between the integrated FMD response and subsequent CV events has been unclear. We enrolled 555 patients who had at least one CV risk factor (hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, or smoking). We measured the peak percentage change in diameter ( ΔFMD), and integrated FMD response calculated as the area under the dilation curve over a 120-second dilation period (FMD-AUC120).

Epidemiologic observations guiding clinical application of a urinary peptidomic marker of diastolic left ventricular dysfunction
Hypertension, obesity, and old age are major risk factors for left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), but easily applicable screening tools for people at risk are lacking. We investigated whether HF1, a urinary biomarker consisting of 85 peptides, can predict over a 5-year time span mildly impaired diastolic LV function as assessed by echocardiography. In 645 white Flemish (50.5% women; 50.9 years [mean]), we measured HF1 by capillary electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry in 2005 –2010.
