The G Protein 3 Subunit C825T Polymorphism Is Associated With Microalbuminuria in Hypertensive Women and Cardiovascular Disease in Hypertensive Men

The 763C>G Polymorphism of The Secretory PLA2IIa Gene Is Associated with Endometriosis in Iranian Women

Is there any relationship between cardiovascular disease and androgenetic alopecia in men and women?

Background: Worldwide, coronary heart disease is the most important cause of mortality and morbidity. Although numerous studies have documented the relationship between male pattern baldness and cardiovascular disease (CVD), few studies focused on this association in women. This study intended to evaluate the relationship between coronary artery disease and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in ...

Microalbuminuria and pulse pressure in hypertensive and atherosclerotic men.

To identify the biological covariates of microalbuminuria (albuminuria >/=15 microg/min) in nondiabetic subjects, brachial blood pressure, echocardiographic left ventricular mass, and other cardiovascular and metabolic parameters were evaluated in 211 untreated males (38 normal controls, 109 uncomplicated stage 1 to 3 essential hypertensives, and 64 patients with clinically stable atherosclerot...

Alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease mortality in hypertensive men.

BACKGROUND Heavy alcohol drinking is associated with a dose-dependent increase in blood pressure, but data on the relation between alcohol consumption and mortality in hypertensive patients are sparse. OBJECTIVE To assess the relation between light to moderate alcohol consumption and total mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) among men with hypertension. PARTICIPANTS AND DESIGN From ...

ADD1 460W allele associated with cardiovascular disease in hypertensive individuals.

High blood pressure is a predictor of cardiovascular disease. Hence, genes contributing to essential hypertension may play a role in the etiology of cardiovascular disease. For this reason, we examined the association between the alpha-adducin (ADD1) G460W and G-protein beta3 subunit (GNB3) 825C>T polymorphisms and the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and incidence of coronary he...
