Journal ArticleDOI

Renin-Angiotensin System Gene Polymorphisms, Blood Pressure, Dyslipidemia, and Diabetes in Hong Kong Chinese A significant association of the ACE insertion/deletion polymorphism with type 2 diabetes

TL;DR: It is suggested that three RAS gene polymorphisms are unlikely to be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension, and limited evidence to suggest that the AGT M235T polymorphism may be associated with cholesterol levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Properly defining white coat hypertension.

TL;DR: This work has shown clear trends in prognosis for high blood pressure in women over a long period of time and these trends are likely to continue to improve with age and gender.
Journal ArticleDOI

Blockade of the Renin-Angiotensin and Endothelin Systems on Progressive Renal Injury

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the RAS but not the endothelin system is a major mediator of progressive renal injury after renal mass reduction and that the combination of an AT1 receptor antagonist with an ACE inhibitor may have advantages over the single agent of RAS blocker treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

A practical approach to achieving recommended blood pressure goals in diabetic patients.

TL;DR: All diabetic patients with blood pressure greater than 130/80 mm Hg should begin angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor treatment and be titrated to moderate or high doses until the blood pressure goal is achieved, and monotherapy still may not control blood pressure to the recommended target.
Journal ArticleDOI

Can we alter physician behavior by educational methods? Lessons learned from studies of the management and follow-up of hypertension

TL;DR: Although physician educational interventions, especially reminders, improved the follow‐up of hypertension, they were ineffective in changing blood pressure levels, however, they may have some utility in improving compliance with guideline recommendations.
