Gestational hypertension and preeclampsia are frequently encountered conditions in pregnancy, often occurring around the time of delivery. Mild cases of these conditions in the near term typically result in few complications for both the mother and the newborn. However, women diagnosed with gestational hypertension or preeclampsia need careful monitoring of both maternal and fetal well-being throughout pregnancy, an Read More

Hypertension (HTN) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and a major contributor to global morbidity and mortality. Conventional pharmacological treatments have been effective but are often accompanied by side effects and do not address all pathological aspects of the disease. Recent advances in molecular biology have identified non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs) Read More

BackgroundAdding olive oil (OO) and flaxseed oil (FLO) to the diet has been reported to improve endothelial function and reduce inflammation. However, the efficacy of supplementing OO and FLO on blood pressure (BP) in normo-, pre-, and hypertensive stage 1 adults is uncertain.ObjectiveThis study aimed to systematically review the literature on OO and FLO supplementation on BP and select inflammat Read More

IntroductionThere is a recognised association between white coat hypertension (WCH) and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in older adults. However, there is no consensus on the management of WCH in this group. The objective of the Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial (HYVET-2) study was to assess the feasibility of randomising 100 patients > 75years with WCH from General Practice in the UK to treatment or usu Read More

Introduction: The role of Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE and ACE2) phenotypes and polymorphisms in modulating severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARSCoV-2) infection in hypertensive patients remains unclear. Our objective was to determine the distribution of ACE and ACE2 receptor phenotypes by patient demographics and correlate ACE and ACE2 levels of activity with SARS-CoV-2 outcomes. Methods:  Read More
