Relationship between Clinic and Ambulatory Blood-Pressure Measurements and Mortality
José R. Banegas,Luis M. Ruilope,Alejandro de la Sierra,Ernest Vinyoles,Manuel Gorostidi,Juan J. de la Cruz,Gema Ruiz-Hurtado,Julian Segura,Fernando Rodríguez-Artalejo,B. Williams +9 more
TL;DR: Ambulatory blood‐pressure measurements were a stronger predictor of all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality than clinic blood‐ pressure measurements, and these relationships were consistent across subgroups of age, sex, and status with respect to obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and antihypertensive treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifestyle interventions for the prevention and treatment of hypertension
Pedro L. Valenzuela,Pedro Carrera-Bastos,Beatriz G. Gálvez,Gema Ruiz-Hurtado,Jose M. Ordovas,Jose M. Ordovas,Luis M. Ruilope,Alejandro Lucia +7 more
TL;DR: Strong evidence supports the benefits of regular physical activity and exercise for the prevention and management of hypertension, and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet is the most effective dietary approach to prevent hypertension and to reduce blood pressure in individuals with pre-hypertension or hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
TNF-α downregulates transient outward potassium current in rat ventricular myocytes through iNOS overexpression and oxidant species generation
TL;DR: TNF-alpha exposure, through iNOS induction and generation of oxidant species, promotes electrophysiological changes in rat ventricular myocytes, providing new insights into how cytokines modulate K(+) channels in the heart.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epac enhances excitation-transcription coupling in cardiac myocytes.
Laetitia Pereira,Laetitia Pereira,Gema Ruiz-Hurtado,Gema Ruiz-Hurtado,Eric Morel,Anne Laurent,Mélanie Métrich,Alejandro Domínguez-Rodríguez,Sandra Lauton-Santos,Alexandre Lucas,Jean-Pierre Benitah,Jean-Pierre Benitah,Donald M. Bers,Frank Lezoualc'h,Ana María Gómez,Ana María Gómez +15 more
TL;DR: These data provide the first evidence that the cAMP-binding protein Epac modulates cardiac nuclear Ca(2+) signaling by increasing [Ca(2+)](n) through PLC, IP(3)R and CaMKII activation, and initiates a prohypertrophic program via HDAC5 nuclear export and subsequent activation of the transcription factor MEF2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium signaling in diabetic cardiomyocytes.
Laetitia Pereira,Gema Ruiz-Hurtado,Angélica Rueda,Jean-Jacques Mercadier,Jean-Pierre Benitah,Ana María Gómez +5 more
TL;DR: A brief overview of Ca(2+) fluxes alteration reported on diabetes is given, and some new data on differential modulation of Ca (2+) handling alteration in males and females type 2 diabetic mice is provided to promote further research.
