Antihypertensive Medication Class and the Risk of Dementia and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults: A Secondary Analysis of the Prospective HELIAD Cohort
(2022)Background: It is unclear whether the main antihypertensive medication classes (diuretics, calcium channel blockers, beta-blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)) are ... -
A comparative analysis of ambulatory BP profile and arterial stiffness between CAPD and APD
(2022)Prior studies have associated automated peritoneal dialysis (APD) with less effective volume and blood pressure (BP) control as compared with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Our study aimed to compare the ... -
Continuing versus Stopping Prestroke Antihypertensive Therapy in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Subgroup Analysis of the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke Trial
(2016)Background and purpose More than 50% of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are taking antihypertensive drugs before ictus. Although antihypertensive therapy should be given long term for secondary prevention, ... -
Early outcomes of the t-Branch off-the-shelf multi-branched stent graft in 542 patients for elective and urgent aortic pathologies: A retrospective observational study
(2021)Objective: The t-Branch, a standardized off-the-shelf multi-branched stent graft has been used for the treatment of elective and urgent cases in aortic disease. The aim of this study was to assess the early outcomes in ... -
Effect of continuing versus stopping pre-stroke antihypertensive agents within 12 h on outcome after stroke: A subgroup analysis of the efficacy of nitric oxide in stroke (ENOS) trial
(2022)Background: It is not known whether to continue or temporarily stop existing antihypertensive drugs in patients with acute stroke. Methods: We performed a prospective subgroup analysis of patients enrolled into the Efficacy ... -
Epidemiology of Hypertension among Patients on Peritoneal Dialysis Using Standardized Office and Ambulatory Blood Pressure Recordings
(2022)Introduction: Prior studies conducted in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients in the late 1990s provided considerably variable estimates of the prevalence and control of hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate ... -
Impact of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system polymorphisms on myocardial perfusion: Correlations with myocardial single photon emission computed tomography-derived parameters
(2019)Background: Renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) has an important role in atherosclerosis. We investigated the effects of six RAAS gene polymorphisms on myocardial perfusion. Methods and Results: We examined 810 ... -
Increased mortality among hypertensive COVID-19 patients: Pay a closer look on diuretics in mechanically ventilated patients

An NOS3 haplotype is protective against hypertension in a caucasian population
(2010)The endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3) has been implicated in the development of hypertension, although the specific role of variants and haplotypes has not been clarified. In this study, the association of three ... -
Obesity and long-term outcomes after incident stroke: a prospective population-based cohort study
(2021)Background: The association between obesity, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and mortality in patients with incident stroke is not well established. We assessed the relationship between body mass index (BMI) ... -
Prediction of long-term outcomes by arterial stiffness and pressure wave reflections in patients with acute stroke: the Athens Stroke Registry
(2022)Background and purpose: Stroke patients' management might be improved by addressing the role of aortic stiffness (carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity: cfPWV) and pressure wave reflections (PWRs, augmentation index: AIx) ... -
The role of nitric oxide in the pathophysiology of bronchial asthma
(1998)OBJECTIVE: To study in vitro the role of nitric oxide (NO), in the pathophysiology of asthma observing the effections of a NO-donor such as sodium nitroprusside, a calcium (Ca) channel inhibitor nifedipine or neurotransmitter ... -
Tocilizumab improves oxidative stress and endothelial glycocalyx: A mechanism that may explain the effects of biological treatment on COVID-19
(2020)We investigated the effects of tocilizumab on endothelial glycocalyx, a determinant of vascular permeability, and myocardial function in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Eighty RA patients were randomized to tocilizumab (n = 40) ... -
Treatment modalities and drug survival in a systemic sclerosis real-life patient cohort
(2020)Background: European data indicate that systemic sclerosis (SSc)-related death rates are increasing, thus raising concerns about SSc's optimal management. Herein, we describe current treatment modalities and drug survival ... -
Type 2 diabetes does not exacerbate body heat storage in older adults during brief, extreme passive heat exposure
(2020)Aging exacerbates hyperthermia and cardiovascular strain during passive heat exposure, but it remains unclear whether those effects worsen in older adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We examined these responses in ...
