TL;DR: The rationale and methods for such an approach are presented here, and the conclusion of the data collection has shown that the project is feasible and should contribute to the selection of responders and to the individualization of the treatment of hypertension.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that scavenging superoxide anion by tempol or EUK-8 or administration of PEG-superoxide dismutase (SOD) inhibits collagen production in cardiac fibroblasts and increasing superoxideAnion formation by inhibition of SOD stimulates collagen production.

TL;DR: Nighttime BP is the better predictor of death and recurrent CV events in hypertensive patients with a history of CV disease, even after adjustment for 24-h BP.

TL;DR: The present findings support the hypothesis that in men the AGTR2 G1675A and the ACE D/I polymorphisms independently influence LVM and that salt intake modulates these genetic effects.

TL;DR: Until the relationship between SRBP and the incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has been clarified further by prospective studies, a mean self-recorded blood pressure above 137mmHg systolic or 85 mmHg diastolic may be considered hypertensive.
