TL;DR: In newly diagnosed hypertensive patients referred to hypertension centers, the prevalence of APA is high (4.8%) and the availability of AVS is essential for an accurate identification of the adrenocortical pathologies underlying PA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Cocoa Reduces Blood Pressure and Insulin Resistance and Improves Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilation in Hypertensives
Davide Grassi,Stefano Necozione,Cristina Lippi,Giuseppe Croce,Letizia Valeri,Paolo Pasqualetti,Giovambattista Desideri,Jeffrey B. Blumberg,Claudio Ferri +8 more
TL;DR: DC decreased BP and serum LDL cholesterol, improved FMD, and ameliorated insulin sensitivity in hypertensives, suggesting that, while balancing total calorie intake, flavanols from cocoa products may provide some cardiovascular benefit if included as part of a healthy diet for patients with EH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-term administration of dark chocolate is followed by a significant increase in insulin sensitivity and a decrease in blood pressure in healthy persons
TL;DR: Dark, but not white, chocolate decreases blood pressure and improves insulin sensitivity in healthy persons and the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI).
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood Pressure Is Reduced and Insulin Sensitivity Increased in Glucose-Intolerant, Hypertensive Subjects after 15 Days of Consuming High-Polyphenol Dark Chocolate
Davide Grassi,Giovambattista Desideri,Stefano Necozione,Cristina Lippi,Raffaele Casale,Giuliana Properzi,Jeffrey B. Blumberg,Claudio Ferri +7 more
TL;DR: FRDC ameliorated insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function, decreased BP, and increased FMD in IGT hypertensive patients, suggesting flavanol-rich, low-energy cocoa food products may have a positive impact on CVD risk factors.
