A novel approach for treating resistant hypertension using a controlled-pump accumulator relief device
Hypertension contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. While many hypertensive patients respond to drug therapy, a growing number of these cases are called resistant hypertension (RH), when patients cannot control their blood pressure to goal levels despite the use of …

Pharmacogenetics of resistant hypertension: evaluating the role of genetic variation in ABCB1, ADBR1, CES1, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, NEDD4L, NOS3, NR3C2 and SCNN1B among South African hypertensive patient
… that over one billion individuals live with hypertension. The prevalence of resistant hypertension can be as high as 19% among African populations. Genetic variation in genes that affect the metabolism and transport of antihypertensive drugs has been reported to influence treatment outcome in …

Corticosteroid hormone action in the cardiovascular system
… in disorders such as primary hyperaldosteronism, resistant hypertension and congestive heart failure (CHF) but the underlying molecular mechanisms of corticosteroid hormone action remain unclear. We have characterised corticosteroid hormone action and metabolism by 11β- …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance characterisation of the phenotype of resistant uncontrolled hypertension
Background: Resistant hypertension (RH) is defined as blood pressure (BP) that remains elevated (>140/90mmHg) despite being treated with an antihypertensive regimen of 3 or more medications from different classes, including a long-acting calcium channel blocker, an angiotensin converting enzyme …

Role of two genes, CACNA1D and CADM1, with common or rare mutations in aldosterone producing adenomas of the adrenal.
… aldosteronism (PA) accounts for 5-10% of all hypertension. One of the major causes of PA is sporadic formation of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs). These benign tumours develop in the cortical region of adrenal glands and autonomously secrete excessive amounts of aldosterone. This hormone …

Renal failure and the neural control of the kidney
Renal failure (RF) is associated with an over activation of the sympathetic nervous system. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the hypothesis that as the kidney progresses into RF there is an inappropriate and sustained activation of renal afferent nerves which results in a dysregulation of …
