Hypertension defined by the 2017 ACC/AHA guideline is more accurate than 2018 ESC/ESH for detecting early vascular aging in young adults.

Determine the most accurate diagnostic criteria of arterial hypertension (AH) for detecting early vascular aging (EVA) defined by pulse wave velocity (PWV) higher than ≥9.2 m/s.Cross-sectional study of a birth cohort started in 1978/79.

Association of Mineralocorticoid Receptor Polymorphism I180V With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Resistant Hypertension.

Objectives: Genetic polymorphisms on mineralocorticoid receptor gene (NC3C2) are associated with variability of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) function and cardiovascular implications. We sought to investigate whether I180V (rs5522) and MRc.-2G_C (rs2070951) polymorphisms in NR3C2 gene are associated with resistance to antihypertensive treatment and target-organ damage in resistant hypertensive (RHTN) patients.
