Morning blood pressure surge and morning hypertension in kidney transplant recipients

Open DOI

Areti Georgiou, Marieta P. Theodorakopoulou, Fotini Iatridi et al.

Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) frequently exhibit abnormal ambulatory blood pressure (BP) patterns, particularly nocturnal hypertension and impaired dipping. However, morning hypertension and morning BP surge (MBPS) remain less well...

Joint association of growth hormone and cerebral small vessel disease with antihypertensive treatment burden after stroke: an exploratory prospective study

Open DOI

Motohiro Okumura, Takeo Sato, Yuki Tsujimoto et al.

Growth hormone (GH) and cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) may influence blood pressure regulation. This study investigated the individual and joint associations of GH and SVD severity with antihypertensive management following stroke. ...

Angiotensin peptide and aldosterone concentrations in response to four classes of blood‐pressure-lowering drugs in hypertensive patients: A randomized trial

Open DOI

Vera van der Velpen, Franziska Küng, Andrea Villiger et al.

The renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAS) regulates blood pressure and fluid balance by a cascade of angiotensin (Ang) peptides. Antihypertensive drug classes differentially modulate this cascade. This study examined how four mechan...

Potential under-recognition of primary aldosteronism in young adults with hypertension

Open DOI

Jianwen Zhao, Delian Zhang, Junli Hu et al.

The aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR) is the primary screening test for primary aldosteronism (PA), but it is strongly influenced by renin activity, which varies with age. Fixed ARR thresholds may therefore under-recognize PA in younger a...

Effect of interventions for stress management on blood pressure changes in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Open DOI

Juna Kamijima, Ai Ikeda, Hadrien Charvat et al.

Non-pharmacological therapy or lifestyle modification is recommended as a first-line approach to hypertension management. Chronic stress is a modifiable risk factor of hypertension through behavioral change. However, no prior studies hav...
