TL;DR: The effects of sodium intake on vascular hemodynamics and their implication in the pathogenesis of hypertension are focused on and include changes in the structure and function of large elastic arteries, modification in sympathetic activity, and in the autonomic neuronal modulation of the cardiovascular system.

TL;DR: In conclusion, 64-slice CT-CA provides optimal visualization of the variable and complex anatomy of coronary arteries because of the improved isotropic spatial resolution and flexible post-processing tool.

TL;DR: Higher intra-coronary attenuation on CT-CA results in greater diagnostic accuracy for detection of coronary artery stenosis, particularly in distal coronary segments than in proximal segments.

TL;DR: There were correlations of marginal statistical significance between the decrease in MAP after the low-salt diet and the plasma glucose and insulin responses to oral glucose, consistent with the view that there is an association between resistance to insulin-mediated glucose disposal and salt sensitivity in patients with high blood pressure.

TL;DR: Applied to cardiovascular signals recorded in 42 female and 42 male volunteers, it showed that scale coefficients and degree of multifractality depend on the temporal scale, with marked differences between IBI, SBP, and DBP and with significant sex differences.
