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.

Arterial spin labelling (ASL) enables non-invasive quantification of regional brain perfusion using MRI. ASL was used in the Reducing Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease through Angiotensin TaRgeting (RADAR) multi-centre trial to pilot the assessment of the effects of the anti-hypertension drug losartan on cerebral blood flow (CBF). In the multi-centre setting, disparities in ASL implementation on scanners from different manufacturers lead to inherent differences in measured CBF and its associated parameters (e.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent male sexual disorder, commonly associated with hypertension, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.
Objective: This study aims to explore the role of Fatty acid synthase (Fasn) in hypertension-induced ED and evaluate the therapeutic potential of the Fasn inhibitor C75.
Materials And Methods: Erectile function was assessed by determining the intracavernous pressure/mean arterial pressure (ICP/MAP) ratio, followed by the collection of cavernous tissue for transcriptomic and non-targeted metabolomic analyses.

We investigated the association between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) and arterial stiffness and distensibility in the aneurysmal sac of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Data from 49 patients with AAA from June 2020 to November 2022 at Tokyo Medical University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Brachial-ankle PWV (cm/s) was obtained via an automated oscillometric method.
