Aim: To conduct a comprehensive examination of patients with controlled hypertension, including assessment of the functional state of the cardiovascular system, vegetative and psycho-emotional status.
Material And Methods: The study involved 80 patients (51 men, 29 women) divided into 2 groups: 60 patients with essential hypertension (EH) without concomitant severe pathology and normal blood pressure during the preceding 3 months (group 1) and 20 healthy patients without EH (group 2). Anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index), parameters of central hemodynamic (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure), vegetative status (vegetative Kerdo index), mental and emotional status (SCL-90R, Leonhard questionnaire, HADS, SF-36, MPQ) were assessed.
Results And Conclusion: There were significant differences in the psycho-emotional status between patients with hypertension and patients with normal blood pressure. Significant correlations between anthropometric indicators, the state of the autonomic nervous system and psycho-emotional status of patients with hypertension were shown.

Background: Hemoglobin (Hb) Hekinan is a prevalent α-globin variant frequently missed in thalassemia screening centers using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or capillary electrophoresis. This study aims to investigate the hematological and molecular characteristics of Hb Hekinan in a large cohort.
Methods: Hb variants were identified using isoelectric focusing (IEF) and HPLC.

Background: Monoclonal antibodies targeting calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) or the CGRP-receptor have revolutionized the prevention of migraine. Despite their effectiveness, worries have surfaced regarding potential unwanted cardiovascular effects linked to the vasodilation function of CGRP, suggesting a potential influence on blood pressure (BP).
Methods: Studies were systematically retrieved from PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science, MEDLINE and EMBASE up to 1 May 2024.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) often coexist and impact morbidity and mortality. There is limited knowledge on the association of AF subtypes with HF according to sex.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore sex-specific associations between AF subtypes and subsequent HF, identifying HF risk factors in participants with AF, and exploring the combined impact on mortality.

Background: Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH) occurs in patients with advanced liver disease and can be a contraindication to liver transplant (LT). Improvement of hemodynamic parameters with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) therapies (including endothelin receptor antagonists [ERAs]) may help some patients to become eligible for LT.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective secondary data analysis to describe the clinical course and management of PoPH in patients on a US registry LT waitlist and outcomes in patients receiving an ERA.

Background: Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) provides a platform for kidney quality assessment. Donation after circulatory death (DCD) donor kidneys are associated with great ischemic injury and high intrarenal resistance (IRR). This experimental study aims to investigate the impact of different perfusion pressures on marginal kidney function and injury during NMP.
