Pulsatile haemodynamic parameters are predictors of survival in paediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension
Conclusions: The parameters of both the pulsatile and static pulmonary circulations are strong independent predictors for transplant-free survival, and therefore can be of complementary value in assessing disease severity, predicting survival and guiding treatment in paediatric PAH.

Prognostic relevance of pulmonary arterial compliance in patients with chronic heart failure.
CONCLUSIONS Pulmonary arterial compliance is a strong prognostic indicator in CHF patients with sLVD; most importantly, its prognostic role is retained in patients with normal pulmonary vascular resistance.

Changes in right heart haemodynamics and echocardiographic function in an advanced phenotype of pulmonary hypertension and right heart dysfunction associated with pulmonary fibrosis
Conclusions
PH-targeted therapy may improve right heart haemodynamics and echocardiographic function without affecting systemic oxygen saturation in an advanced PH phenotype associated with RV dysfunction in the setting of PF.

Renovascular hypertension: A report of 21 cases.
Abstract
Renovascular hypertension (RVH) is among the most common forms of secondary hypertension. We studied 21 patients (eight male and 13 female) with RVH who were encountered during a period of 16 years. The average age of the patients was 34.75 years. Trans-renal Doppler ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of renovascular stenosis (RAS) as the cause of RVH in 95% of the patients. Computed tomography angiography was performed in ten cases, which confirmed the diagnosis in all these cases. Magnetic resonance angiography was performed in only three patients. Renal scintigraphy was performed in 11 patients, with D...

Hypertension in hemodialysis patients treated with atenolol or lisinopril: a randomized controlled trial
Conclusions
Among maintenance dialysis patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, atenolol-based antihypertensive therapy may be superior to lisinopril-based therapy in preventing cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause hospitalizations.

The Glomerulopathy of Sickle Cell Disease
Abstract
Sickle cell disease (SCD) produces many structural and functional abnormalities in the kidney, including glomerular abnormalities. Albuminuria is the most common manifestation of glomerular damage, with a prevalence between 26% and 68% in adult patients. The pathophysiology of albuminuria in SCD is likely multifactorial, with contributions from hyperfiltration, glomerular hypertension, ischemia‐reperfusion injury, oxidative stress, decreased NO bioavailability and endothelial dysfunction. Although its natural history in SCD remains inadequately defined, albuminuria is associated with increased echocardiography...

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Before and After Kidney Transplantation
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in dialysis patients and the most common cause of death and allograft loss among kidney transplant recipients. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with an increased incidence and prevalence of a wide range of CVDs including coronary artery disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, sudden cardiac death, pulmonary hypertension, and valvular heart disease. CVD risk factors are very common in patients with ESRD, and most patients have multiple risk factors. Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with ESRD, as a suc...

Chronic kidney disease in Primary Health Care: Prevalence and associated risk factors.
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic kidney disease has considerable prevalence in subjects≥60 years seen in Primary Health Care, more in women, and increasing with age. Hypertension, more than diabetes, was the main associated cardiovascular risk factor.

Young, Healthy People Warned Not To Ignore Signs Of Atrial Fibrillation
BOSTON (CBS) – Heart problems are big problems for Americans, but if you think they only affect the elderly, think again. Younger and otherwise healthy people are having heart problems, too, even if they’re in great shape.
Mark Marshall is only 51. The competitive wrestler was out for a training run when suddenly he felt a flutter in his chest and his vision blurred. “In my mind I’m thinking, you must be dehydrated. I had no idea I was in afib,” he remembers.
But he was, even though Mark had none of the risk factors for atrial fibrillation like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and old ag...

Effects of restoring normoglycemia in type 1 diabetes on inflammatory profile and renal extracellular matrix structure after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation
Patients with type 1 diabetes have increased risk of macrovascular complications such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases including myocardial dysfunction and stroke [1,2], as well as microvascular complications including neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy [3]. Diabetic nephropathy is characterized by hypertension, albuminuria, reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and kidney morphological changes [4]. These overt effects are the long-term consequences of changes in several important signaling systems affected by hyperglycemia [5], by changes in the renin-angiotensin system, increased transforming growth fac...
