“…75% of all HTN-related deaths worldwide take place in low-and middle-income nations where HTN prevalence is higher and population awareness and HTN control are less prevalent than in high-income nations. About 26% of Egyptian adults fit the HTN criterion (Soliman et al, 2021).…”

Background: Both dermatoglyphics and lip prints/cheiloscopic patterns are genetically determined. Hypertension (HTN) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and causes 17.9 million deaths worldwide each year. Hypertension is also known to have a genetic background as it runs in families.Objectives: This study was conducted to recognize individuals with a genetic predisposition to have hypertension and to determine significant dermatoglyphic parameters and lip print characters applicable to hypertension, also to assess their reliability and validity. Subjects and Methods: 100 female hypertensive patients were taken as the test subjects from the Assiut University Hospital, and an equal number of healthy normotensive volunteers from the general population were utilized as controls. Fingerprint patterns of both groups were recorded using Cummin's method. Then dermatoglyphic analysis was then performed on the prints. Lip impressions were made using red or brown lipstick, A4 size white bond paper, and cellophane tape. The types of grooves were categorized using Suzuki and Tsuchihashi's taxonomy, and the results were statistically examined. Results: Significant dermatoglyphic and cheiloscopic results were detected in the hypertensive group compared to the normotensive control. The data revealed a higher frequency of ulnar loop patterns in both normotensive and hypertensive followed by the whorl and arch fingerprint patterns. A significant decrease in the a-b ridge count and 'atd' angle was declared in the hypertensive group compared to the control. Regarding the cheiloscopic patterns, the obtained data showed significantly higher frequencies of lip-branched patterns and irregular/undifferentiated patterns in the hypertensive group in comparison to the normotensive one. Conclusion: Significant indicators of dermatoglyphic and cheiloscopic features were demonstrated in the hypertensive group compared to the control one. so, they might be employed as a reliable genetic marker for the screening of hypertension.

“…There is a steady increase of in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the Egyptian population, with most recent statistics reporting a prevalence of type 2 diabetes at approximately 16% of all adults aged 20-79 years (4). A government-sponsored major initiative called the "100 Million Seha" that measured the weight and height of millions in the country reported that approximately 40% of all adults are obese and approximately 26% have hypertension (5), more than half of whom are unaware of their current blood pressure status, leaving them at a high risk for major cardiovascular disease (6). Furthermore, there is an overall 8% increase in smokers yearly, with nearly 21% of the young population (aged 15-24 years) using tobacco (7).…”

“…Each type of PH has an incidence that is linked to the underlying causative disorders, and variability in prevalence across groups is mostly due to co-morbidities, demographic factors, and assumptions about right atrial pressure measurement [5]. In EGYPT, Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is the most common cause of pulmonary hypertension, according to the first registry of PH patient's study [6]. However, according to global registries, group II PH caused by left heart disease, has the largest incidence ratio and is linked to a poor prognosis and high morbidity ratio in patients with heart failure.…”

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life threatening pulmonary vascular disease, characterized by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP), pulmonary vascular remodeling and right sided heart hypertrophy. Due to the emergence of right ventricular (RV) failure, PH, in spite of recent therapeutic improvements, continues to be a fatal condition. Although there are already many animal models of pulmonary hypertension accessible in research, improvement in RV function and effective remodeling reversal remain a therapeutic challenge. The right utilization of traditional and novel PH animal models is crucial for understanding the underlying pathological mechanisms to reverse severe phenomenon. This review gives a general summary of the various models for PH induction, along with each method's benefits and drawbacks.
