PMID: 27168797
Exp Ther Med. 2016 May;11(5):1748-1754. doi: 10.3892/etm.2016.3172. Epub 2016 Mar 15.

Chronic hypertension induces vascular and cardiac remodeling. OW1 is a novel imperatorin derivative that was previously reported to inhibit vascular remodeling and improve kidney function affected by hypertension. In the present study, the effect of OW1 on the cardiac...

(1)H NMR- based metabolomics approaches as non- invasive tools for diagnosis of endometriosis.

International journal of reproductive biomedicine

Ghazi N, Arjmand M, Akbari Z, Mellati AO, Saheb-Kashaf H, Zamani Z.
PMID: 27141542
Int J Reprod Biomed. 2016 Jan;14(1):1-8.

BACKGROUND: So far, non-invasive diagnostic approaches such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or blood tests do not have sufficient diagnostic power for endometriosis disease. Lack of a non-invasive diagnostic test contributes to the long delay between onset of symptoms...

INTRODUCTION: The activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system is a main element of the pathophysiology of chronic heart failure (CHF), determining its symptoms and prognosis. Vitamin D is an RAA inhibitor, and its deficiency frequently accompanies CHF. The factors...

Evolving role for mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

Current opinion in cardiology

Miller RJH, Howlett JG.
PMID: 25574896
Curr Opin Cardiol. 2015 Mar;30(2):168-172. doi: 10.1097/HCO.0000000000000147.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The majority of randomized clinical trials in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) have failed to show meaningful improvements in clinical outcomes. Recent randomized trials have shown benefits from mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in the...

Overview of the genetic determinants of primary aldosteronism.

The application of clinical genetics

Al-Salameh A, Cohen R, Desailloud R.
PMID: 24817817
Appl Clin Genet. 2014 Apr 08;7:67-79. doi: 10.2147/TACG.S45620. eCollection 2014.

Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. The syndrome accounts for 10% of all cases of hypertension and is primarily caused by bilateral adrenal hyperplasia or aldosterone-producing adenoma. Over the last few years, the use of...

Pregnancy Hypertens. 2014 Jan;4(1):23-8. doi: 10.1016/j.preghy.2013.08.002. Epub 2013 Sep 04.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association of the N-terminal fragment of precursor protein brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels with plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) in singleton pregnancies.DESIGN: Serum NT-proBNP levels, PRA and PAC were determined in...

BACKGROUND: Heart failure is common in the elderly and is associated with high rates of hospitalisation, readmission and mortality. International guidelines however are not frequently implemented in this population.METHODS: We retrospectively studied the clinical profile, investigations, treatment on discharge,...

INTRODUCTION: The pathophysiology of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) has not been clearly identified although multiple abnormalities including arteritis, endothelial dysfunction, and atherothrombosis have been reported. The role of vitamin D deficiency suggests cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease,...
