Our understanding of Na + homeostasis has recently been reshaped by the notion of skin
as a depot for Na + accumulation in multiple cardiovascular diseases and risk factors. The …

The oxidative modification hypothesis of atherosclerosis, which assigns to oxidized low-density
lipoproteins (LDLs) a crucial role in atherosclerosis initiation and progression, is still …

Context Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is the key test for subtyping primary aldosteronism (PA),
but its interpretation varies widely across referral centers and this can adversely affect …

Context: Due to selection biases and inadequate statistical power, individual studies may
fail to identify the clinical features of patients with an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) …

Objective— Galectin-3 (Gal-3) can affect atherogenesis by multiple mechanisms, but it
remains scarcely known whether plasma Gal-3 levels predict cardiovascular events in patients …

The vast majority of hypertensive patients are never sought for a cause of their high blood
pressure, ie for a ‘secondary’ form of arterial hypertension. This under detection explains why …

We sought to measure the clinical benefits of adrenal venous sampling (AVS), a test
recommended by guidelines for primary aldosteronism (PA) patients seeking surgical cure, in a …

Background and aim Considering the amount of novel knowledge generated in the last five
years, a team of experienced hypertensionlogists was assembled to furnish updated clinical …

Atherosclerosis manifests itself clinically at advanced stages when plaques undergo
hemorrhage and/or rupture with superimposed thrombosis, thus abruptly stopping blood supply. …

Background Current guidelines recommend use of the aldosterone‐renin ratio ( ARR ) for
the case detection of primary aldosteronism followed by confirmatory tests to exclude false‐…
