6th Central European Meeting on Hypertension

Abstract

The proceedings contain 33 papers. The topics discussed include: spontaneously hypertensive rats benefit from red palm oil supplementation; effect of chronic red wine concentrate administration on endothelial function in Wistar-Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive rats; hypertension-induced gap junction remodelling that facilitates malignant arrhythmias can be attenuated by dietary omega-3 fatty acids; beneficial effect of red wine polyphenols on blood pressure of chronic social stress-exposed hypertensive rats; different changes in vascular function and structure after long-term neuronal NO-synthase inhibition in normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats; antioxidant response and radical signaling in different experimental models of hypertension; relationship between BP elevation in exercise tolerance test and night-to-day BP values during ABPM in hypertensive patients; and symmetric dimethyl-l-arginine level is positively correlated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in hypertensive subjects.
