  2. 1. Psychosocial stress in relation to blood pressure and cardivascular disease - epidemiological and genetic aspects

    Author : Bertil Öhlin; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; receptor; Cardiovascular system; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; adrenergic; alpha-2; beta-1; mortality; morbidity; prospective; studies; polymorphism; work; stress; blood pressure; hypertension;

    Abstract : Psychosocial stress has been linked to both hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD), and hypertension has been proposed to be one mediator of the increased CVD risk in subjects reporting stress. Genetic susceptibility for blood pressure elevation in relation to stress has been proposed, but so far there is little evidence. READ MORE

  4. 2. Yoga as a treatment for hypertension in primary care. A quantitative and qualitative analysis conducted in Sweden

    Author : MOA WOLFF; Allmänmedicin och samhällsmedicin; []
    Keywords : Hypertension; Primary Health Care; Yoga; Quality of Life; RCT; Qualitative Research; stress; Anxiety; Depression; inflammatory biomarkers;

    Abstract : Introduction: Persistent hypertension is a key risk factor for coronary heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, such as heart failure. For primary care physicians, hypertension is the number one diagnosis for office visits and for our communities, the treatment of high blood pressure (BP) and its consequences constitutes a substantial economic burden.

  5. 3. Effects of oestrogen on haemodynamic and vascular reactivity - A study in animal models and humans

    Author : Lisa Brandin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : adrenergic reactivity; endothelium; haemodynamic; hypertension; oestrogen; postmenopausal women; resistance arteries; spontaneously hypertensive rats; stress;

    Abstract : Effects of Oestrogen on Haemodynamic and Vascular Reactivity A study in animal models and humans Lisa Brandin Institute of Medicine, Department of Emergency and Cardiovascular Medicine, Sahlgrenska University Hospital/Östra, Sahlgrenska Academy, Göteborg University, Göteborg, Sweden ABSTRACT Previous studies have shown that oestrogen, the female sex hormone, plays a protective role in the cardiovascular system. However the site of action remains incompletely understood. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanosensing in the vascular wall - the role of cellular microdomains in vascular remodeling

    Author : Sebastian Albinsson; Kärlfysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; tissue culture; Histologi; cytokemi; histokemi; vävnadskultur; cytochemistry; histochemistry; wall stress; shear stress; hypertension; Histology; differentiation; growth; caveolin; smooth muscle; actin; Fysiologi; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

    Abstract : The vascular wall has a remarkable capacity to adapt to mechanical forces exerted by the intraluminal blood pressure and flow. This includes rapid change in contractile tone as well as chronic alteration of vessel structure if the stimulus persists. Stretch of the intact blood vessel wall promotes growth and contractile differentiation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Impairment of Endothelial Thromboprotective Function by Haemodynamic and Inflammatory Stress - Implications for hypertensive disease

    Author : Erik Ulfhammer; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : tissue-type plasminogen activator; endothelium; fibrinolysis; hypertension; shear stress; strain; antihypertensive agents; inflammation; TNF-alpha; NF-kappaB; MAPK;

    Abstract : The physiologically most important activator of intravascular fibrinolysis is tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA). The endothelium synthesizes and stores t-PA and regulated release of the enzyme is an important local protective response to prevent thrombus extension. READ MORE
