A significant effect of the interaction between plasma aldosterone concentration and the visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio on the tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio in patients with primary aldosteronism.
The association between second-hand smoking exposure and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy risk was analyzed using the JECS data. The relative risks in 4–7 days/week and ≥2 h/day of SHS exposures were 1.18 and 1.27, respectively. The PAFs due to SHS exposure and maternal smoking were 3.80% and 1.81%, respectively.
The presence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is significantly associated with an increase in systolic blood pressure over time.
High resting heart rate (RHR), particularly ≥70 bpm, was associated with the risk of cardiovascular events compared to RHR 60-69 bpm in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), diabetic retinopathy, and hyperlipidemia, but without known cardiovascular disease.
In apparently healthy nondiabetic subjects, without cardiovascular disease or chronic kidney disease, the association between baseline or longitudinal glycemia levels and arterial stiffening was indirect, consistently mediated by renal function status.
This study suggested the association of podocyte DNA damage and subsequent DNA methylation with proteinuria in minor glomerular abnormalities (MGA) patients and those with eGFR declines in diabetic nephropathy (DN) patients, respectively.
Advanced myosteatosis measured by abdominal CT taken at the L3 level was significantly correlated with a higher risk of hypertension even after adjusting for health behaviors, intake of lipid-lowering drugs, plasma lipid levels, and other ectopic fat distribution.
