Journal ArticleDOI
Increased pulse pressure linked to dementia: further results from the Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial - HYVET.
Ruth Peters,Nigel Beckett,Robert Fagard,Lutgarde Thijs,Ji-Guang Wang,Françoise Forette,Lisa Pereira,Astrid E. Fletcher,Christopher J. Bulpitt +8 more
TL;DR: Wider achieved pulse pressure (PP) was associated with increased risk of dementia in both treatment groups and active treatment may act to change the shape of the relationship between DBP and dementia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measurement of cardiac output: Fick principle using catheterization.
Robert Fagard,James Conway +1 more
TL;DR: The direct oxygen Fick approach is the standard reference technique for cardiac output measurement, and probably is the most accurate method currently available, although there are many possibilities of introducing errors, and considerable care is needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transforming growth factor-β1-mediated collagen gel contraction by cardiac fibroblasts
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that TGF-β1 increased the contractile activity of adult rat cardiac fibroblasts and their ability to differentiate into myofibroblast and the influence of TGF -β1 on cardiac Fibroblast-induced collagen gel contraction might depend on the promotion of my ofibroblast differentiation.
Journal Article
Analysis of the diurnal blood pressure curve
Journal ArticleDOI
Radioimmunoassay of angiotensin II in unextracted plasma.
TL;DR: A reliable, direct radioimmunoassay of plasma angiotensin II (PAII) is described, and the combination of EDTA and o-phenanthroline has been found to be a very efficient ang Elliotensinase inhibitor in plasma and is of equal potency as EDta and diisopropylfluorophosphate in inhibiting the angiotENSinase and converting enzyme activity.
