TL;DR: The association between elevated resting heart rate and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has been demonstrated in a large number of epidemiologic studies, but elevated heart rate is not yet considered to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: The 2013 European Hypertension Guidelines are evidence based and for the first time, the level of evidence is provided for diagnostic methods and treatment recommendations, and the 2013 recommendations are updated with relevant research and recent outcome studies.

TL;DR: This study highlights the need to understand more fully the phytochemical basis of left ventricular dysfunction in Europe, as well as the role of E.coli and testosterone in this process.

TL;DR: The heritability of various indexes reflecting left ventricular diastolic function in nuclear families, including E, A, e’ and a’ velocities, and their ratios are demonstrated, demonstrating moderate heritability.

TL;DR: Patients with primary aldosteronism as compared to matched hypertensive controls are characterized by higher outer wall diameter, wall thickness, wall-to-lumen ratio and wall cross sectional area of retinal arterioles reflecting hypertrophic vascular remodeling.
