Daily Aerobic Exercise Improves Reactive Hyperemia in Patients With Essential Hypertension

TL;DR: It is suggested that through increased release of nitric oxide, continued physical exercise alleviates impairment of reactive hyperemia in patients with essential hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anger expression and incident hypertension

TL;DR: Findings support the hypothesis that extreme expression of anger in either direction has adverse cardiovascular consequences and provide strong epidemiological evidence for a positive relationship between anger expression style and subsequent hypertension, independent of known risk factors.

Advanced glycation end-product cross-link breakers: A novel approach to cardiovascular pathologies related to the aging process

TL;DR: Alagebrium is the first drug in a new class of thiazolium therapeutic agents that break established AGE cross-links between proteins and was effective in improving cardiac function and uncontrolled systolic blood pressure, particularly in more severely affected patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue Doppler E/E′ ratio is a powerful predictor of primary cardiac events in a hypertensive population: an ASCOT substudy

TL;DR: Tissue Doppler E/E', a non-invasive estimate of left atrial filling pressure, independently predicts primary cardiac events in a hypertensive population and out-performed traditional echocardiographic measures in this moderately sized, well-treated hypertensive Population.
