Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of beta‐adrenoceptor blockade on renin, angiotensin, aldosterone and catecholamines at rest and during exercise.
TL;DR: The significant exercise-provoked increases in angiotensin II, plasma renin activity and 'active', 'inactive' and 'total' renin when on placebo, were reduced by metoprolol.
Journal ArticleDOI
A genetic predisposition score for muscular endophenotypes predicts the increase in aerobic power after training: the CAREGENE study.

TL;DR: In CAD patients, suggestive associations were found in the GR, CNTF and the AMPD1 gene with an improved change in aerobic capacity after three months of training.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A favourable influence on prognosis by active treatment can be expected on the basis of the blood pressure reduction and in the absence of major electrolytes disturbances, however, the balance between this decreased risk and the increased risk produced by the rise in blood glucose and the other treatment effects remains to be determined.
