Vascular Dysfunction in the Brain; Implications for Heavy Metal Exposures
Normal or diseased conditions that alter the brain’s requirement for oxygen and nutrients via alterations to neurovascular coupling have an impact on the level of the neurovascular unit; comprising neuronal, glial and vascular components. The communications between the components of the neurovascular unit are precise and accurate for its functions; hence a minute disturbance can result in neurovascular dysfunction. Heav Read More

Endothelial Dysfunction Induced by Cadmium and Mercury and its Relationship to Hypertension
Hypertension is an important public health concern that affects millions globally, leading to a large number of morbidities and fatalities. The etiology of hypertension is complex and multifactorial, and it involves environmental factors, including heavy metals. Cadmium and mercury are toxic elements commonly found in the environment, contributing to hypertension. We aimed to assess the role of cadmium and mercur Read More

Pesticides-induced Cardiovascular Dysfunctions: Prevalence and Associated Mechanisms
More LessIncreased applications of pesticides, mainly in agriculture and public health, have resulted in increased chances of human exposure to pesticides. Chronic exposure to pesticides has been implicated in several human diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are broadly used for various heart pathological conditions, including a defect in blood vessels, and they include myocardial infarction, athero Read More

Vascular Inflammation in Hypertension: Targeting Lipid Mediators Unbalance and Nitrosative Stress
Arterial hypertension is a worldwide public health threat. High Blood Pressure (BP) is commonly associated with endothelial dysfunction, nitric oxide synthases (NOS) unbalance and high peripheral vascular resistance. In addition to those, inflammation has also been designated as one of the major components of BP increase and organ damage in hypertension. This minireview discusses vascular inflammatory triggers of high Read More

Phyto-derived Products as Matrix Metalloproteinases Inhibitors in Cardiovascular Diseases
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that present a metallic element in their structure. These enzymes are ubiquitously distributed and function as extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelers. MMPs play a broad role in cardiovascular biology regulating processes such as cell adhesion and function, cellular communication and differentiation, integration of mechanical force and force transmission, tissue remodeling, modulat Read More

Potential Novel Benefits of Sodium Restriction in Chronic Kidney Disease
More LessChronic kidney disease is a global public health issue, and it has been considered as the epidemic of the 21st century. Therefore, all initiatives addressed to slow down the evolution and complications of this condition should be well received. While the effects of salt reduction on cardiovascular disease have some controversial issues, in chronic kidney disease, such a policy is beneficial in multiple aspects. In chroni Read More

Characteristics and Risk Factors Associated with Stroke Subtypes among Adult Patients Admitted to the Stroke Unit of Jimma University Medical Center: A Retrospective Cross-sectional Study
More LessBackground: Almost 80% of deaths due to non-communicable diseases occur in lowand middle-income countries. Stroke is a great public health problem in Ethiopia. Stroke mortality was estimated to be 14.7% in Ethiopia. Despite this, researches done in Ethiopia on factors associated with stroke sub-types were inadequate. Objective: To assess the characteristics and risk factors associated with stroke subtypes among patie Read More

Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring in the Diagnosis and Management of Arterial Hypertension in Current Medical Practice in Algeria
Objective: There are limited data on the management of hypertension (HT) in Algeria. The aim of this study was to assess, in current medical practice, the use and benefits of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) for the diagnosis and management of HT. Methods: A prospective, observational, multicenter study was performed in 2017. Patients aged ≥ 18 years with suspected or treated HT were included. A 24-ho Read More
