Abstract 090: Outcomes of Hypertensive Crises as Predicted by Red Cell Distribution Width Session Title: Concurrent XV C: Clinical Hypertension
Conclusions: Elevated RDW level in patients with hypertensive crisis was an independent predictor of all-cause mortality and new-onset heart failure in patients with hypertensive crisis.

Rho-Associated Kinase Activity Is a Predictor of Cardiovascular Outcomes Cardiovascular Outcomes
Cardiovascular diseases are associated with chronic activation of Rho-associated kinase. Rho-associated kinase activity is significantly correlated with endothelial function and Framingham risk score. However, there is no information on the prognostic value of Rho-associated kinase activity. We evaluated Rho-associated kinase activity in peripheral leukocytes by Western blot analysis in 633 subjects who underwent health-screening examination at Hiroshima University Hospital. We assessed the associations between Rho-associated kinase activity and first major cardiovascular events (death from cardiovascular causes, myocardia...
