Faria,Ana Paula de; Ritter,Alessandra Mileni Versuti; Gasparetti,Carolina Souza; Corrêa,Nathália Batista; Brunelli,Veridiana; Almeida,AurélioAbstract Background: There is evidence that subclinical systemic inflammation is present in resistant hypertension (RHTN). Objective: The aim of the study was to develop an integrated measure of circulating cytokines/adipokines involved in the pathophysiology of RHTN. Methods: RHTN (n = 112) and mild to moderate hypertensive (HTN) subjects (n=112) were studied in a cross-sectional design. Plasma cytokines/adipo...
Metabolic Syndrome-Related Features in Controlled and Resistant Hypertensive Su...
Catharina,Arthur Santa; Modolo,Rodrigo; Ritter,Alessandra Mileni Versuti; Sabbatini,Andréa Rodrigues; Lopes,Heno Ferreira; Moreno Junior,HeitorAbstract Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is widespread among hypertensive patients. Clinical features and potential biomarkers of MetS in the presence of hypertension and resistant hypertension (RHTN) represent a great area of interest for investigation. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of MetS and the clinical features associated with it in resistant and mild to moderat...
MCP-1 Levels are Associated with Cardiac Remodeling but not with Resistant Hype...
Ritter,Alessandra Mileni Versuti; Faria,Ana Paula Cabral de; Sabbatini,Andrea; Corrêa,Nathalia Batista; Brunelli,Veridiana; Modolo,RodrigoAbstract Background: Hypertension is a chronic, low-grade inflammation process associated with the release of cytokines and development of target organ damage. Deregulated monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels have been associated with high blood pressure and cardiovascular complications; however, the mechanisms involved are complex and not fully understood. Objective: This study aimed to compare th...
