Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), a highly prevalent disease, has been linked in recent years to cardiometabolic conditions. The aim of this study was to analyze the prediction of arterial hypertension in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. We examined the records of 151 patients referred to our Sleep Laboratory Center for nocturnal cardiorespiratory polygraphy in 2011. 99 patients (65.56%)...
There is growing concern about elevated blood pressure in children and adolescents, because of its association with the obesity epidemic. Moreover, cardiovascular function and blood pressure level are determined in childhood and track into adulthood. Primary hypertension in childhood is defined by persistent blood pressure values ≥ the 95th percentile and without a secondary cause. Preventable risk...
Leptin, secreted by adipose tissue, is involved in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension, however, the mechanisms through which leptin increases blood pressure are incompletely elucidated. We investigated the effect of leptin, administered for different time periods, on renal Na+,K+-ATPase activity in the rat. Leptin was infused under anesthesia into the abdominal aorta proximally to the renal...
