TL;DR: It is hypothesized that inhibition of the renin-aldosterone system in men and absence of such a compensatory mechanism in women may explain, at least to some extent, the sexual dimorphism of the blood pressure phenotype in relation to the C1797T β-adducin polymorphism.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the association between heart rate and its variability (HRV), and gender, age, posture, breathing frequency, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, family history of hypertension and various lifestyle factors, such as smoking, alcohol and coffee consumption and physical activity.

TL;DR: TGF-β 1 is able to induce the appearance of ACE in cultures of adult rat cardiac ventricular fibroblasts and this induction was accompanied by a profound modification of the fibro Blasts phenotype, which consisted of a change in cell morphology, an enlargement of cell volume and an increase in cell protein content.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared cardiovascular outcome between patients with white-coat and sustained hypertension who had previously participated in the Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring and Treatment of Hypertension (APTH) trial.
