Journal ArticleDOI
Management of hypertension in chronic kidney disease
TL;DR: The rationale for <140 mmHG systolic and <90 mmHg diastolic targets for blood pressure in patients with CKD, with consideration for tighter targets in the setting of proteinuria is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-Varying Myocardial Stress and Systolic Pressure-Stress Relationship Role in Myocardial-Arterial Coupling in Hypertension
Julio A. Chirinos,Patrick Segers,Amit K. Gupta,Abigail Swillens,Ernst Rietzschel,Marc De Buyzere,James N. Kirkpatrick,Thierry C. Gillebert,Yan Wang,Martin G. Keane,Raymond R. Townsend,Victor A. Ferrari,Susan E. Wiegers,Martin St. John Sutton +13 more
TL;DR: In the presence of normal LV ejection fraction, a midsystolic shift in the pressure-stress relationship protects cardiomyocytes against excessive late systolic stress (despite pressure augmentation associated with wave reflections), a coupling mechanism that may be altered in various disease states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of glycoprotein oligosaccharides using high-pH anion exchange chromatography.
TL;DR: The natural heterogeneity of glycoprotein glycans requires that chromatography be an essential part of structural elucidation, and HPAEC is sensitive to these structural features and thus, has become an important new method for understanding the elusive function of glycolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypertensive patients' willingness to participate in placebo-controlled trials: implications for recruitment efficiency
Scott D. Halpern,Jason Karlawish,David Casarett,Jesse A. Berlin,Raymond R. Townsend,David A. Asch +5 more
TL;DR: Hypertensive patients participate in trials for altruistic and personal health reasons, and differences between patients who do or do not participate may influence trial outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study (CRIC): Overview and Summary of Selected Findings
Matthew G. Denker,Suzanne M. Boyle,Amanda H. Anderson,Lawrence J. Appel,Jing Chen,Jeffrey C. Fink,John M. Flack,Alan S. Go,Edward Horwitz,Chi-yuan Hsu,John W. Kusek,James P. Lash,Sankar D. Navaneethan,Akinlolu O. Ojo,Mahboob Rahman,Susan Steigerwalt,Raymond R. Townsend,Harold I. Feldman +17 more
TL;DR: The CRIC Study is a United States multicenter, prospective study of racially and ethnically diverse patients with CKD that has produced >90 published scientific articles, promoted many young investigative careers in nephrology, and fostered international collaborations focused on understanding the global burden of CKD.
