The association of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and intracerebral, particularly aneurysmal, subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is a well-known phenomenon. ECG alterations are observed in 50-100% of patients during the acute stage of SAH.1-3 Frequently, these effects are clinically not important. Some SAH patients, however, have structural cardiac damage with elevation of creatine kinase…

The pathogenesis of primary hypertension is multifactorial. However, the sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in circulatory and metabolic control and has clearly been established as a major contributor to the development of hypertension, with blood pressure elevation being initiated and sustained by elevated sympathetic nervous activity. Increased sympathetic outflow to the heart…

Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is most common cause of syncope,1 with 37 % of the population suffering at least one attack during their life time.2 Head up tilt-table testing (HUTT) was first evaluated and used for the diagnosis of VVS in 1986.3–4 Prior to this, diagnosis relied purely on the clinical history and exclusion of other conditions. With almost 40 % of patients with VVS experiencing no…

Hypertension is the most common chronic disease in the US, affecting 29% of the adult population.1 Once considered a benign, compensatory mechanism for ageing, high blood pressure (BP) is now recognised as an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is estimated that inadequate BP control is responsible for 62% of cases of cerebrovascular disease, 49% of cases of ischemic heart…

Despite the recent introduction of vascular closure device (VCD) technology, vascular access site complications remain the leading source of morbidity and costs after the approximately eight to eight-and-a-half million percutaneous catheter-based procedures performed annually worldwide.1 VCD trials consistently demonstrate increased patient satisfaction, early ambulation, and decreased hospital…

Background: Bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, RYGB) reduces cardiovascular mortality and improves HDL-mediated vasoprotection. Bile acids (BA) are emerging as signalling molecules controlling cardiometabolic health. Plasmatic BA circulate partly bound to HDL.
Purpose: We tested whether and how changes in composition of BA bound to HDL (HDL-BA) after RYGB contribute to HDL-mediated…
