Journal ArticleDOI
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive patients with high cardiovascular risk: a cross-sectional analysis of a 20,000-patient database in Spain.
Manuel Gorostidi,Javier Sobrino,Julian Segura,Cristina Sierra,Alex de la Sierra,Raquel Hernández del Rey,Ernest Vinyoles,Josep M. Galcerán,María D López-Eady,Rafael Marín,José R. Banegas,Antonio Sarría,Antonio Coca,Luis M. Ruilope +13 more
TL;DR: In the lowest levels of ambulatory BP, high-risk patients showed a higher prevalence of non-dipping BP than lower-risk cases, and these observations support the recommendation of a wider use of ABPM in high- risk hypertensive patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silent cerebral white matter lesions in middle-aged essential hypertensive patients.
Cristina Sierra,Alejandro de la Sierra,J.M. Mercader,Elisenda Gómez-Angelats,Alvaro Urbano-Márquez,Antonio Coca +5 more
TL;DR: The severity of blood pressure elevation seems to be the most important factor related to the presence of WML in asymptomatic, middle-aged, never-treated essential hypertensive patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Idebenone treatment in paediatric and adult patients with Friedreich ataxia: long-term follow-up.
Mercè Pineda,Javier Arpa,Raquel Montero,A. Aracil,Francisco J. Domínguez,Marta Galván,A. Mas,Loreto Martorell,Cristina Sierra,Nuria Brandi,Elena García-Arumí,Miquel Rissech,Daniel Velasco,Juan A. Costa,Rafael Artuch +14 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that longer-term idebenone treatment prevented progression of cardiomyopathy in both paediatric and adult patients, whereas its stabilizing effect on neurological dysfunction was present only in the paediatric population, mainly before puberty.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vascular stiffness and endothelial dysfunction: Correlations at different levels of blood pressure.
Valeria N. Figueiredo,Juan Carlos Yugar-Toledo,Luiz Cláudio Martins,Leandro Boer Martins,Ana Paula Faria,Carolina de Haro Moraes,Cristina Sierra,Antonio Coca,Heitor Moreno +8 more
TL;DR: The vascular damage differences observed between patients with controlled vs uncontrolled hypertension suggest that the latter group may have a worse cardiovascular prognosis, requiring prospective assessment tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant enzymes and fatty acid status in erythrocytes of Down syndrome patients
M-Cruz Pastor,Cristina Sierra,Maria Doladé,E. Navarro,Nuria Brandi,Eduard Cabré,Aurea Mira,Agustí Serés +7 more
TL;DR: The activity of the erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes is significantly higher in the DS group than in the control group, and the long-chain n3 PUFA does not appear to be affected by increased oxidative stress, probably because of the existence of compensatory antioxidant mechanisms.
