Polymorphisms in the renin, kallikrein, and ANF gene regions are predictive for hypertension in individual human subjects, and are useful for genetic analysis. DNA encoding human kallikrein provides a probe for detection of these polymorphisms and permits both production of recombinant protein in ...

DNA encoding human kallikrein provides a probe for detection of these polymorphisms and permits both production of recombinant protein in practic...
Hypertension Diagnostics Diasorin provides diagnostic solution for hypertension which includes additional endocrine markers related to the adrenal function.
Background : Fixed pulmonary hypertension (PH) in heart transplant candidates is a risk factor for right ventricular failure in the postoperative period and early mortality. Patients with fixed PH are not included in the waiting list. Thus, the correct assessment of the pulmonary circulation before...
Even when a diagnosis was explicated, and a treatment prescribed care was judged as superficial if it avoided looking for the aetiology of the disease by the means of further tests. Mikołaj could not explain to himself the reason behind his hypertension: They just gave me some tablets and ...
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a common cause of hypertension and renal insufficiency, especially in the elderly population. There are several excellent diagnostic tests available to diagnose RAS. Renal artery duplex ultrasound, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and spiral CT angiography have been...
pre- and posttest probability of disease Error rate Information in a diagnostic test result: the likelihood ratio Diagnostic odds ratio Continuous tests and their dichotomization and trichotomization From pretest probability to posttest probability: Bayes's theorem Decision analytical approach of the ...
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is a rare lesion of the liver associated with portal hypertension in more than half of patients. We present two cases demonstrating complications and diagnostic problems of NRH and review the pathogenesis, clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features of 240 cases...
In this review we consider in detail the use of the following tests for the diagnosis of renal artery stenosis; intravenous urography, B Mode ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound, renal scintigraphy with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, intra-venous and intra-arterial catheter angiography, computed ...
The findings of various studies have led to the conclusion that multifactorial diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity etc are also controlled at genetic level with respect to the environmental factors. Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality...
