TL;DR: In conclusion, acute calcium entry blockade in patients with essential hypertension reduces the pressor response to A II, but not the A II-induced inhibition of renin and increase in plasma aldosterone.

TL;DR: The burden of uncontrolled risk factors in urban Africans emphasizes that control and prevention of cardiovascular disease should deserve more attention on the political agenda in sub-Saharan Africa.

TL;DR: This test could be used as a tool to measure the degree of serotonin inhibition, at least at the platelet level, provided that the pH is controlled in the in vitro assay.

TL;DR: The Bursztyn et al1 speculate that ambulatory blood pressure participants were not representative of the whole trial, but this is possible but very unlikely in view of the similarity of the participant characteristics given in Table 1.

TL;DR: Plasma renin activity (PRA) was measured by radioimmunoassay of angiotensin I generated during 1 hour incubation at the pH-optimum and in the plasma or after extraction on a Dowex resin with significant correlation between the PRA-values obtained with both methods.
