Journal ArticleDOI
Pregnancy-induced sympathetic overactivity: a precursor of preeclampsia.
Thorsten Fischer,Hans P. Schobel,Helga Frank,Michael H. Andreae,Karl T.M. Schneider,Karsten Heusser +5 more
TL;DR: Pregnant women considered to be at increased risk for preeclampsia owing to preeClampsia during a preceding pregnancy are performed in a prospective study to investigate if the sympathetic activity precedes preeclamping or represents only a secondary phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decrease of blood pressure by ventrolateral medullary decompression in essential hypertension
TL;DR: A direct causal relation between raised blood pressure and irritation of cranial nerves IX and X is showed, suggesting a subgroup of patients with essential hypertension may exist who have secondary forms of hypertension related to neurovascular compression at the ventrolateral medulla and who may be successfully treated with decompression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of short-term high-protein compared with normal-protein diets on renal hemodynamics and associated variables in healthy young men
Helga Frank,Juliane Graf,Ulrike Amann-Gassner,Renate Bratke,Hannelore Daniel,Uwe Heemann,Hans Hauner +6 more
TL;DR: A short-term HP diet alters renal hemodynamics and renal excretion of uric acid, sodium, and albumin and more attention should be paid to the potential adverse renal effects of HP diets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of erythropoietin on cardiovascular prognosis parameters in hemodialysis patients.
TL;DR: Normalization of hemoglobin normalization by a chronic treatment with recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) on cardiovascular prognosis parameters in dialysis patients has beneficial cardiovascular effects with regression of left ventricular hypertrophy and improvement ofleft ventricular geometry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of chronic kidney disease on carotid plaque vulnerability
Jaroslav Pelisek,I N Hahntow,Hans-Henning Eckstein,Stefan Ockert,Christian Reeps,Peter Heider,Peter B. Luppa,Helga Frank +7 more
TL;DR: In patients with CKD and advanced carotid artery stenosis, morphologic changes in plaque composition may contribute to plaque vulnerability and consequently to the risk of cerebrovascular events.
