Baseline Transvalvular Gradient Predicts Reduction in Pressure Augmentation Index Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Aortic Stenosis
Arterial stiffness provides an additional left ventricular afterload to valvular obstruction in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Elevated arterial stiffness can be reflected by a higher aortic pressure augmentation index (AIx). The effect of baseline transaortic valve mean gradient (MG) and flow rate (TFR) on arterial stiffness following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is not well understood.

Change in Echocardiographic Parameters in Patients Receiving a Quadruple Ultra-Low-Dose Anti-Hypertensive Combination for Treatment of Hypertension
This group has previously demonstrated greater blood pressure (BP)-lowering effects using a quadruple ultra-low-dose combination of anti-hypertensives (irbesartan 37.5 mg, amlodipine 1.25 mg, indapamide 0.625 mg, bisoprolol 2.5 mg) ( “quadpill”) compared with standard monotherapy (irbesartan 150 mg). It sought to compare changes in echocardiographic parameters between the two groups after 12 months of treatment. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Impact of Changes in Glucose on Regulation of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Blockade on the Baroreflex Sensitivity in a Sheep Model of Late Gestation Undernutrition
This study hypothesised that by reducing fetal supply of glucose while maintaining normal oxygen levels, there would be a reduction in fetal baroreflex sensitivity in the absence of endothelial nitric oxide (eNO). (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Improved Efficacy of Microwave Catheter Denervation Guided by the Aorticorenal Ganglion Stimulation Responses Leads to More Consistent Renal Denervation
This study hypothesised that effective microwave (MW) RDN can be recognised intraprocedurally by abolition of aorticorenal ganglia (ARG) stimulation responses. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Influence of Age on Upper Arm Cuff Blood Pressure Measurement Across the Lifespan
This study aimed to combine data from studies of children and adults to determine whether a systematic relationship exists between age and accuracy of automated cuff BP compared with invasive BP. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Lactulose Lowers Systolic Blood Pressure
This study examined the effect of lactulose, which is indigestible by humans and therefore reaches the colon where bacteria can metabolise it. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)

Long-Term Blood Pressure Variability and Cortical Thickness in Older Adults
This study used a topographical approach, via the Desikan –Killiany atlas, to assess links between long-term BPV and cortical thickness in 478 (54% male at baseline) community dwelling older adults (70–88 years) from the ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) NEURO sub-study.

Nitroglycerin Reduces Pulsatile Afterload But Maintains Cardiac Output in Patients With Aortic Stenosis
In patients with aortic stenosis (AS), increased left ventricular afterload arises from combined valvular obstruction and vascular impedance from elevated arterial stiffness. The effect of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) on the vascular response to nitroglycerin is not well understood. (Source: Heart, Lung and Circulation)
