Hypertension Urgencies and Emergencies: The GEAR ProjectHigh Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention - Tập 27 - Trang 129-132 - 2020
Massimo Salvetti, Fabio Bertacchini, Giovanni Saccà, Maria Lorenza Muiesan
Acute elevations in blood pressure (BP), usually defined as ≥ 180/110 mmHg, may
present with highly heterogeneous profiles ranging from absence of symptoms to
life-threatening target organ damage. In most recent years the diagnostic
approach and the treatment of hypertension have gained interest by patients and
physicians. The GEAR project (Gestione delle Emergenze e urgenze in ARea
critica, manag... hiện toàn bộ
The ALLHAT StudyHigh Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention - Tập 10 - Trang 3-6 - 2012
Ettore Ambrosioni
The ALLHAT trial (Antihypertensive and Lipid Lowering treatment to prevent Heart
Attack Trial) is the largest study ever to focus on the treatment of patients
with hypertension and the authors’ conclusions have been widely published in the
press. However, only a small part of the information published in the newspapers
and magazines has focused on the results obtained by the study and great
emphas... hiện toàn bộ
Interactions Between Macro- and Micro-Circulation: Are They Relevant?High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention - Tập 22 - Trang 119-128 - 2015

Macrovasculature, microvasculature, and the heart are the main determinants of
the structure and function of the circulatory system. Due to viscoelastic
properties of large arteries, the pulsatile pressure and flow that result from
intermittent ventricular ejection are smoothed out, so that microvasculature
mediates steadily the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to tissues. The
disruption of this f... hiện toàn bộ
Low Potassium Intake: A Common Risk Factor for Nephrolithiasis in Patients with High Blood PressureHigh Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention - Tập 30 - Trang 343-350 - 2023

Hypertension (Htn) is a crucial cause of cardio-vascular and chronic kidney
disease. Moreover, it is an independent risk factor for nephrolithiasis (NL). A
diet rich in vegetables and fruits is indicated for both Htn and NL prevention,
and the 24-h urinary potassium excretion can be used as a warning light for
adherence. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the association between
urinary potas... hiện toàn bộ
Relationship between circulating leptin levels and arterial stiffness: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studiesHigh Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention - Tập 27 - Trang 505-513 - 2020
Lanfranco D’Elia, Alfonso Giaquinto, Francesca De Luca, Pasquale Strazzullo, Ferruccio Galletti
Leptin is associated with cardiovascular risk. Some studies analyzed the
potential association between leptin and arterial stiffness, an independent
cardiovascular risk factor. However, the studies that investigated this
association provided inconsistent and heterogeneous results. We performed a
systematic review and a meta-analysis of the available studies on the
relationship between leptin and a... hiện toàn bộ
Genetically Determined Platelet Reactivity and Related Clinical ImplicationsHigh Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention - Tập 22 - Trang 257-264 - 2015

Many drugs are nowadays available to inhibit platelet activation and
aggregation, especially in patients with acute coronary syndromes and undergoing
percutaneous coronary intervention with stent implantation. Primary targets are
represented by enzymes or receptors involved in platelet activation. Genetic
mutations in these targets contribute to the inter-individual variability in
platelet respons... hiện toàn bộ
