Diuretic Therapy, the α-Adducin Gene Variant, and the Risk of Myocardial Infarction or Stroke in Persons With Treated Hypertension

TL;DR: In carriers of the adducin variant, diuretic therapy was associated with a lower risk of combined MI or stroke than other antihypertensive therapies, and this large subgroup of the hypertensive population may be especially likely to benefit from low-dose diUREtic therapy.

Relations of Plasma Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 to Clinical Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Echocardiographic Left Ventricular Measures The Framingham Heart Study

TL;DR: In a community-based sample, detectable plasma MMP-9 levels were associated with increased LV diastolic dimensions and increased wall thickness in men, indicating that plasma M MP-9 level may be a marker for cardiac extracellular matrix degradation, a process involved in LV remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and tolerability of oral stevioside in patients with mild essential hypertension: a two-year, randomized, placebo-controlled study.

TL;DR: In this 2-year study in Chinese patients with mild hypertension, oral stevioside significantly decreased SBP and DBP compared with placebo, and QOL was improved, and no significant adverse effects were noted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pattern of normal age-related regional differences in white matter microstructure is modified by vascular risk.

TL;DR: The observed pattern of effects suggests that vascular risk may drive the expansion of age-related white matter damage from anterior to posterior regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and correlates of elevated serum creatinine levels: the Framingham Heart Study.

TL;DR: Elevated SCr levels are common in the community and are strongly associated with older age, treatment for hypertension, and diabetes, and longitudinal studies are warranted to determine the clinical outcomes of individuals with elevated levels of SCr.
