Michael Böhm,David E. Kandzari,Raymond R. Townsend,Felix Mahfoud,Marc Weber,Martin Fahy,Kazuomi Kario +6 more
TL;DR: Post-hoc analyses suggest patients with higher baseline HR could experience greater reductions in ambulatory HR and BP post-renal denervation, as well as patients with lower baseline HR who were removed from their antihypertensive medications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigating the effect of glucose on aortic pulse wave velocity using pancreatic clamping methodology.
TL;DR: Continued efforts in clarifying the independent roles of glucose and insulin can elucidate novel vessel-related targets for cardiovascular disease prevention and management in patients with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes.
