High blood pressure (HPB) is considered a major health problem affecting more than one billion people worldwide. Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disorder that increases the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. HDL-cholesterol, considered to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, presents pleiotropic effects that can influence arterial status and blood pressure. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between HDL-cholesterol levels and blood pressure in normotensive and hypertensive patients (untreated and 1-month treated with statins) and to evaluate the arterial stiffness as a marker of endothelial dysfunction in these patients.
Improved HER2 assessement is needed for urothelial carcinomas. HER2-IHC scored as 0-2 should be validated by and reclassified according to FISH analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
