Supposed mechanism for the beneficial effects of RDN on hypertension and target organ damage in DahlS rats. RDN at early or late stages after salt loading moderately alleviated hypertension and substantially ameliorated renal injury in DahlS rats. Cross talk among the kidney, cardiovascular system, and adipose tissue possibly mediated by circulating RAS may contribute to salt-sensitive hypertension. LV; left ventricular, NE; norepinephrine, RAS; renin-angiotensin system, RDN; renal denervation.
The association between low on-treatment blood pressure and cardiovascular events has been understudied in low-risk patients with hypertension. In our study with nationally representative working-age adults from general population with hypertension without elevated risk, increased risk of cardiovascular events was observed in diastolic blood pressure of <60 mmHg, but not in systolic blood pressure of <110 mmHg. Those results contrasted with previous investigations in high-risk patients where the risk of low on-treatment blood pressure was more pronounced.
The study consists of a two-stage design that conducts MR at both stages. First, we assessed the causality for the associations between 194 blood metabolites and the risk of pre-eclampsia. Second, we investigated a broad spectrum of side effects associated with the targeting identified metabolites in 693 non-preeclampsia diseases. Our results suggested that Cholesteryl esters in large HDL may serve as a promising drug target for the prevention or treatment of pre-eclampsia with no predicted detrimental side effects.
Participants in the high weight gain group showed significant increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressures at 6 years after smoking cessation that were significantly different from those observed in participants in the low weight gain group and the continued smoking group.
