Sodium and Large Arteries in Hypertension Effects of Indapamide
TLDR
It is suggested that, in patients with essential hypertension, changes of sodium intake in diet or administration of diuretics, or both, affect the status of large arteries independently of blood pressure changes.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Pulse pressure—a review of mechanisms and clinical relevance
TL;DR: The origin, clinical relevance and treatment of pulse pressure is reviewed, and a distributed compliance model of the arterial circulation provides a framework for understanding the causes, effects and potential treatment of elevations in PP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sodium Intake and Hypertension.
TL;DR: The effects of sodium intake on vascular hemodynamics and their implication in the pathogenesis of hypertension are focused on and include changes in the structure and function of large elastic arteries, modification in sympathetic activity, and in the autonomic neuronal modulation of the cardiovascular system.

TL;DR: It is concluded that, in type 2 diabetes, pulse pressure is positively associated with cardiovascular mortality, and this findings support the concept of accelerated vascular aging in type 1 diabetes.

Aortic distensibility in normotensive, untreated and treated hypertensive patients.

TL;DR: The results suggest that long-term antihypertensive treatment and control of blood pressure using only diastolic blood pressure criteria may not fully reverse arterial alteration associated with hypertensive vascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cost-effectiveness of misoprostol for prophylaxis against nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced gastrointestinal tract bleeding.
TL;DR: It is concluded that misoprostol is costly as primary prevention for NSAID-induced gastrointestinal tract bleeding in the groups examined but may be cost-effective as secondary prevention in patients with a proved history of gastrointestinal tract bleed.

Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of aging on changing arterial compliance and left ventricular load in a northern Chinese urban community.
TL;DR: The results indicate that aging and not concomitant atherosclerosis (known to be rare in Asian populations) is the dominant factor associated with reduced arterial compliance and increased left ventricular load in these subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of aging on arterial distensibility in populations with high and low prevalence of hypertension: comparison between urban and rural communities in China.
TL;DR: Pulse wave velocity was consistently lower in the aorta, arm, and leg, and increased to a lesser degree with age compared with Beijing subjects, an area with known low prevalence of hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Definitions and characteristics of sodium sensitivity and blood pressure resistance.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sensitivity and resistance exist in normotensive as well as hypertensive subjects and that this phenomenon may be associated with the change in blood pressure with age.

Velocity of Transmission of the Pulse-Wave

Improved arterial distensibility in normotensive subjects on a low salt diet.
TL;DR: It is prima facie evidence that reduced salt intake has a beneficial effect in improving distensibility of the central aorta and large peripheral arteries, which is independent of its antihypertensive action.
