Remote ischaemic conditioning and remodelling following myocardial infarction: current evidence and future perspectives

TL;DR: The ongoing and planned clinical trials are discussed which are attempting to elucidate whether the protection imparted by rIC in the preclinical setting can be translated to the clinic and become a realistic weapon in the clinician’s armoury to tackle acute remodelling and heart failure post-MI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical implications of left atrial changes after optimization of medical therapy in patients with heart failure

TL;DR: Changes in LA dimension may be a useful marker of response to treatment and improve risk stratification in patients with HF and was associated with an unfavourable outcome and was prevented by ACEi/ARBs uptitration.
Journal Article

SA gene and hypertension.

TL;DR: Findings in this model raise the exciting possibilities that SA represents a major component of an important novel system regulating blood pressure, and it underlies a primary renal mechanism predisposing to hypertension.

Protein-coding variants implicate novel genes related to lipid homeostasis contributing to body fat distribution

Anne E. Justice, +278 more
- 30 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: By examining variants often poorly tagged or entirely missed by genome-wide association studies, novel genes in fat distribution are implicate, stressing the importance of interrogating low-frequency and protein-coding variants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of non-invasive measurements of arterial blood pressure in frequency and time-domain estimates of cardiac baroreflex sensitivity.

TL;DR: Spectral analysis of cardiac BRS showed a better agreement between estimates obtained from the Finapres and aortic ABP, and the influence of β-blockers on BRS estimates was investigated.
