Objectives: We aimed to explore the relationship of hypertensive retinopathy with carotid intima--media thickness (CIMT), and to examine the possible effect modifiers in Chinese adults with hypertension.

Understanding disease risk is challenging in multifactorial conditions as it can differ by environment, ethnicity and race. The Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation are one of the most isolated populations in the United States. Retinal changes are a reliable indicator for systemic disease.
Arteriosclerosis is one of the major determinant of cardiovascular risks. The augmentation index (AGI) is a measure of systemic arterial stiffness derived from the ascending aortic pressure waveform. We examined the relationship between the AGI of the aorta measured by SphygmoCor (A + CorMedical
Hemorheological factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of different cardiovascular diseases. The hemorheological and hemodynamic parameters in essential hypertension and their possible modification by antihypertensive treatment were examined in the following two studies. In the first
It has long been recognized that arterial hypertension is often a part of a larger constellation of anthropometric and metabolic abnormalities that includes abdominal (or visceral) obesity, a characteristic dyslipidemia (low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high triglycerides), glucose
A cohort of 227 untreated essential hypertensive patients from north-western Italy was studied in order to evaluate the prevalence of micro- and macroalbuminuria and their relationship with other cardiovascular risk factors. Albuminuria was evaluated as the albumin to creatinine ratio (Alb/Cr) in
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the changes in serum pepsinogen (PG) I/II ratio induced by Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection and assess the value of PG I/II test in evaluating organ damages in hypertensive patients.
METHODS
The serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL) and PG
Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection is known to alter levels of pepsinogens (PG) and is correlated with several disease states, including gastric and cardiovascular diseases. This study sought to assess whether Hp infection is associated with hypertension as well as to identify the value of assessing
For many years, it has been recognized that hypertension tends to cluster with various anthropometric and metabolic abnormalities including abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hyperuricemia. This
: We report a case of a 39-year-old woman with resistant hypertension and renal dysfunction. The patient was hospitalized 3 months earlier for dyspnea at the Department of Cardiology, where she was diagnosed with heart failure (left ventricle injection fraction: 25-30%), pulmonary hypertension,
