TL;DR: In this article, direct and indirect indices of neuroadrenergic function have shown that end-stage renal disease is characterized by a marked sympathetic overdrive, however, whether this phenomenon r...

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that the sympathetic activation of obesity occurs independently in obstructive sleep apnea, and show that this condition exerts sympathostimulating effects independent of body weight, and that the obstructiveSleep apnea–dependent and –independent sympathostIMulation contribute to the overall adrenergic activation of the obese state.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that LVH is an important risk factor even when the contribution of different BPs to risk is fully taken into account, and left ventricular mass index was always an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and death for any cause.

TL;DR: The data provide the first evidence that, in hypertension, activation of the sympathetic nervous system may contribute not only at the blood pressure elevation but also at the development of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.

TL;DR: Homeostasis model assessment index was increased in patients with in- and out-of-office and white-coat hypertension, with a further increase in masked hypertension and a direct relation with resting sympathetic nerve traffic.
