C-Reactive Protein-Mediated Vascular Injury Requires Complement
TL;DR: Human CRP exaggeration of neointima formation in injured mouse carotid arteries associates with decreased circulating C3 and increased tissue-localized C3, which prevents CRP-driven exacerbation of the injury response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritionally complete prepared meal plan to reduce cardiovascular risk factors: a randomized clinical trial.

TL;DR: The nutritionally complete CCNW plan offers greater improvements in lipids, blood sugars, homocysteine, and weight loss than usual-care diet therapy, and this prepackaged comprehensive nutrition program can augment both the prescription and practice of optimal dietary therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marked Regional Left Ventricular Heterogeneity in Hypertensive Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Patients A Losartan Intervention for Endpoint Reduction in Hypertension (LIFE) Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance and Echocardiographic Substudy

TL;DR: Although global MWS by echocardiography or MRI is depressed in hypertensive LV hypertrophy, MRI tissue tagging demonstrates substantial regional intramyocardial strain(∈) heterogeneity, with most severely depressed strain patterns in the septum.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the percentage of ABPM claims submitted between 2007 and 2010 that were reimbursed was determined, and the median payment was $52.01 (25th-75th percentiles, $32.95-64.98).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hypertension in the elderly.
TL;DR: The concomitant intake of certain medications that counter the effects of antihypertensive drugs and the frequent occurrence of orthostatic hypotension complicate treatment in older patients and drive down blood pressure control rates.
