Influence of the calcium antagonist amlodipine on left ventricular mass and function in patients with essential hypertension

1997

This study was conducted to evaluate the influence of antihypertensive treatment with the calcium antagonist amlodipine on left ventricular structure and systolic and diastolic function in patients with essential hypertension.

Hemodynamic Changes in Patients with Essential Hypertension after Therapy with Muzolimine

1987

Muzolimine is a new nonsulfonamide diuretic belonging to the pyrazolinone group (1).It is a potent high-ceiling diuretic agent like furosemide and bumetanide with long duration of action like thiazides (1, 2).

Treatment of patients with essential hypertension and microalbuminuria.

1998

There has been increasing interest in the question of whether microalbuminuria can be used in the risk stratification of patients with essential hypertension. A cluster of cardiovascular and/or renal risk factors may be associated with microalbuminuria in hypertension. Despite this, prospective data about the potential role of microalbuminuria as a prognostic marker of cardiovascular and/or renal risk have been sparse and inconclusive until now. Blood pressure values have been considered the most important determinant of microalbuminuria in essential hypertension; however, hyperinsulinaemia--a metabolic component-was noted to be present in conjunction with high blood pressure. Furthermore, …

Platelet membrane fluidity and platelet membrane lipid pattern in essential hypertension

1995

In a group of subjects with essential hypertension platelets were studied in resting conditions: platelet membrane fluidity was measured with the fluorescent probe 1.4-(trimethylamino)-phenyl-4-phenylhexatriene (TMA-DPH), platelet membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio was evaluated separating the membrane lipids with column chromatography, and platelet membrane individual phospholipids were determined using two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography. From the obtained results, it is evident that platelet membrane fluidity does not differentiate normals from hypertensives; platelet membrane cholesterol/phospholipid ratio is increased in hypertensives, while of the platelet membrane individu…
