The Effect of Chronic Hypertension on Neuropathology in the TGSWDI Mouse Model of Alzheimer's Disease
… studies link vascular disorders, such as hypertension, diabetes and stroke, with Alzheimer's disease. Hypertension, specifically, is an important modifiable risk factor for late onset Alzheimer's disease. Despite the abundance of clinical data connecting these conditions, animal studies …

The impact of maternal chronic hypertension and chronic kidney disease on the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term cardiovascular disease: a population-based epidemiology study
Background and aims: The prevalence of chronic hypertension (CH) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased among pregnant women in recent decades. Given the improvement in antenatal care over the last few decades, it is still unclear whether the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) among …

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive pregnancies
This thesis focuses on outcomes in hypertension in pregnancy, and the role of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Overviews of blood pressure measurement and hypertension in pregnancy are followed by discussion of ABPM in non-pregnant and pregnant individuals. A literature review of …

A Retrospective Cohort Study of the Timing of Anxiety and Depression Diagnosis and the Onset of Hypertensive Syndromes In Pregnancy
… of anxiety and/or depression and the onset of hypertension in pregnancy (HIP). Second, this study aimed to investigate the association of anxiety and/or depression diagnosis and HIP by timing (before or in pregnancy) of first anxiety and/or depression diagnosis, and to identify confounders of …

The Efficacy Of Prostaglandin Synthase Inhibition On Attenuating Pressure Overload Induced Cardiac Remodeling
Chronic hypertension has long been known to cause left ventricular remodeling. Although previous studies pointed towards inflammation as the pathological driver of cardiac remodeling, the exact mechanistic pathway associated with pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling remains to be …

The Role of Angiotensin-(1-7) in the Modulation of Angiotensin II-Dependent Cardiac Remodeling
… response to injury to the heart concomitant with chronic hypertension. The structural changes to the heart, including myocyte and vascular hypertrophy as well as interstitial and perivascular fibrosis, are attributed to a combination of both hemodynamic and humoral factors, such as angiotensin II …

Perinatal outcomes with fetal growth restriction according to hypertensive disorder in pregnancy
태아 발육 부전이 의심되는 환자에 있어 산전 진찰의 목적은 실제 성장 부전을 일으킬 수 있는 위험인자를 가진 산모들을 조기에 발견하고 산과적 중재를 통하여 신생아의 이환률과 사망률을 줄이는데 있다. 발육부전을 동반한 임신은 다양한 산과적 문제들이 합병되어 있는 경우가 많으며 병태 생리학적으로 전자간증 및 만성 고혈압 등의 고혈압성 질환과도 연관이 있다고 밝혀진바 있다. 하지만 발육부전과 임신성 고혈압 질환이 같이 있는 경우 각 질환의 유형에 따른 주산기 예후에 대한 예후를 직접적 비교 연구는 많지 않다. 본 논문에서는 태아 …
