Introduction: Hypertension is associated with changes in microcirculation, while increased blood pressure (BP) during exercise stress testing has been correlated with adverse outcomes.
Aim: To evaluate the relationship of microcirculation with exercise BP response in hypertensive individuals.
Methods: 105 hypertensive individuals underwent exercise stress testing and nail-fold videocapillaroscopy assessment, in order to evaluate the relationship of BP response to exercise with capillary density.
Aims: To systematically appraise and summarize the available evidence from published randomized controlled trials considering the effect of nebivolol on blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
Methods: Literature search was performed through Medline (via PubMed), Cochrane Library and Scopus until December 15, 2023. Double-independent study selection, data extraction and quality assessment were performed.
Introduction/objective: The influence of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and its modalities on various neuropsychiatric conditions is herein explored together with their impact on specific cardiovascular (CV) diseases (CVD).
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was undertaken via the PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar on the above relevant topics. The focus was on large randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses.
Article Synopsis
- * The review discusses how daily rhythms affect arrhythmia events and emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach in diagnosing and treating these issues, especially considering factors like sleep disorders and comorbidities.
- * Effective treatments for nocturnal arrhythmias may involve adjusting medication timing, addressing underlying health conditions like obesity and sleep apnea, and utilizing specialized therapies, which can reduce severe heart issues and the need for invasive procedures.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the commonest cardiac arrhythmia, constituting a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with an age-dependent incidence and prevalence ranging from 1-2% in the general population to ~10% in persons aged >60 years. The global prevalence of AF is rapidly increasing, mostly due to the aging population. If not properly and timely managed, this arrhythmia adversely affects left ventricular function, increases the risk of stroke five-fold, impairs quality of life, and shortens longevity.
