Myocardial Ischemia: A Link Between Hypertension and Heart Failure
Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for morbidity and mortality worldwide, while the most common cause of death in hypertensive patients is heart failure. Myocardial ischemia is an important pathophy...

Chapter
Hypertension in Young Adults
Arterial hypertension in young adults is not well defined due to the high variability of the corresponding age interval. However, ages 18 through 45 seem to be the most reasonable based on common pathogenic me...

Treating Hypertension Complicated with Heart Failure: Going Beyond the Numbers
In the past two decades, treatment of hypertension has shifted from rigid cutoff values to an integrative approach based on the absolute cardiovascular (CV) risk profile of an individual. Blood pressure (BP) v...

The prognostic value of right ventricular longitudinal strain and 3D ejection fraction in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
Several studies showed that right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a powerful predictor in heart failure (HF). Advanced echocardiographic techniques such as speckle-tracking imaging and three-dimensional (3D) e...

The Global Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) Registry. Rationale, design and objectives
Hypertension is a major risk factor for the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) and blood pressure (BP) in itself is an important marker of prognosis. The association of BP le...

High-normal blood pressure and related cardiovascular risk factors prevalence in the Romanian adult population: insights from the SEPHAR III study
High normal blood pressure (HNBP) is associated with an increased risk of incident high blood pressure (HBP) and of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). To estimate the prevalence of HNBP and related cardiovascular ...

Coronary Microcirculatory Dysfunction Evaluation in Chronic Angina
Normal coronary arteries or non-obstructive epicardial stenosis are found frequently during evaluation of patients with chronic angina. We present the clinical evaluation of a young female patient with angina ...

Left Atrial Strain for Predicting Atrial Fibrillation Onset in Hypertensive Patients
We aimed to find new predictive parameters for atrial fibrillation (AF) onset in hypertensive patients using two-dimensional (2D) conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography of the left atrium (LA).

Chapter
Role of Echocardiography
Hypertensive heart disease represents a spectrum of changes in the heart geometry and functions as an adaptation to long-term increased blood pressure. These alterations in the heart function and structure, al...

Biomarkers
Even though heart failure (HF) is a global public health problem, its diagnosis is often quite challenging, especially in the initial stages. Biomarkers are useful instruments which could facilitate the early ...

Chapter
New Drugs for the Hypertensive Failing Heart
A few important and relevant aspects revealed during a series of basic and clinical research studies have changed the view on hypertension, its treatment, and the prophylaxis of its complications, in particula...

Article
The Relationship Between Psychosocial Status and Hypertensive Condition
The aim of the paper is to test the influence of social status and psychological well-being (independent variables) on hypertensive condition (dependent variable), when adjusting for traditional risk factors o...

Chapter
Congenital Heart Disease and Right Heart
In the field of congenital heart disease (CHD) the right heart is frequently affected, therefore understanding its dysfunction and discovering new modalities of evaluation may have clinical implications. In pa...

Chapter
Left Heart Pathology and Right Ventricle Function
Pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular dysfunction are both common in left-sided heart failure. The classical belief that in left-sided heart disease, right ventricular dysfunction develops secondary to ...

Chapter
Arrhythmias in Right Heart Disease
Right heart disease can be associated with increased risk for arrhythmias, both ventricular and supraventricular. Right sided arrhythmias may occur in the setting of structural disease predominantly affecting ...
