    Abstract : High blood pressure (BP) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Both genetic and environmental factors are implicated in BP homeostatsis and hypertension development. READ MORE

  4. 2. Acute, ambulatory and central blood pressure measurements in diabetes

    Author : Magnus Wijkman; Fredrik Nyström; Carl Johan Östgren; Toste Länne; Jan Östergren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Ambulatory blood pressure; Arterial stiffness; Central blood pressure; Diabetes; Hypertension.;

    Abstract : Background: In patients with diabetes, high blood pressure is an established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this thesis was to explore the associations between blood pressure levels measured with different techniques and during different circumstances, and the degree of cardiovascular organ damage and subsequent prognosis in patients with diabetes.

  5. 3. Proteomic, metabolomic, and microbiome studies of blood pressure

    Author : Yi-Ting Lin; Johan Sundström; Martin Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood pressure; hypertension; proteomics; metabolomics; microbiome; molecular epidemiology; Mendelian randomization;

    Abstract : Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and premature death with a substantial global economic burden. To prevent and treat hypertension, it is crucial to improve our understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms. Hypertension is a multifactorial condition influenced both by genetic and environmental factors. READ MORE

  6. 4. Long-term follow-up of adult women with urinary tract infection in childhood

    Author : Carin Gebäck; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ambulatory blood pressure; blood pressure; chronic kidney disease; DMSA scan; glomerular filtration rate; hypertension; pregnancy; renal damage; renal function; urinary tract infection; vesicoureteral reflux;

    Abstract : Acute pyelonephritis is common in young children and can lead to permanent renal damage. Renal damage increases the risk of complications such as hypertension and decreased renal function later in life. For women with renal damage there is also an increased risk of pregnancy complications. READ MORE

  7. 5. Role of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after pediatric renal transplantation

    Author : Rafael Tomás Krmar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Children; renal transplantation; office blood pressure; ambulatory blood pressure; hypertension;

    Abstract : Background: Office blood pressure (BP) readings, i.e., BP obtained in a clinical setting, are the basis of the present knowledge concerning the risks associated with hypertension. READ MORE
