TL;DR: It is concluded that mean pulmonary wedge pressure, which is likely to reflect left ventricular diastolic function in the selected patients of the current study, is a significant and independent predictor of mortality and of cardiovascular events in uncomplicated hypertension.

TL;DR: In conclusion, beta blockade did not significantly alter the hemodynamic effects of training and did not affect the training-induced changes of cardiac output, heart rate, and arteriovenous oxygen content difference.

TL;DR: The employed methodology and several demographic, anthropometric and/or lifestyle characteristics should be taken into account for the interpretation of HRV in cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: Baseline daytime ambulatory blood pressure and follow-up clinic blood pressure do not identify the same patients for antihypertensive treatment, and Baseline ambulatory pressure is a better predictor of cardiovascular events than follow- up clinic pressure.

TL;DR: The plasma cGMP and cAMP concentrations had returned to the prerace levels 12 h after the marathon, whereas the plasma alpha-ANP concentration was significantly lower than the base-line values and increased above the pre race values 36 h and 7 days later.
