..The general population have to be informed on cardiovascular risk factors, and patient education must be encouraged and developed via the healthcare network...

..CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study demonstrate that changes in arterial structure and in arterial stiffness are not confounding factors in the relationship between PP and CRP...

..MetS was strongly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis and aortic stiffness, and can be used as a surrogate marker for high CVD risk, deserving aggressive treatment...

..The bridge between food intake and weight is not fully understood. Recently, the role of gut microbiota and bacterial lipopolysacharides (LPS) in weight has been noted...

..We recently described a human blood microbiome and a connection between this microbiome and the onset of diabetes. The aim of the current study was to assess the association between blood microbiota and incident cardiovascular disease...

..To test this hypothesis, we studied the capacity of a broadly specific bacterial marker (16S rDNA) to predict the onset of diabetes and obesity in a general population...

..To assess hypertension control in patients admitted to hospital for an acute coronary event and to investigate the influence on prognosis of controlling hypertension before hospital discharge...

..The aim of this study was to analyze hypertension management in secondary prevention of stroke as compared with patients in secondary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI)...

..This effect is significantly associated with a more effective PP reduction in patients with baseline CRP >3 mg/L...

..Inflammation therefore appears to be a common factor of atherosclerosis and the metabolic syndrome. The factors triggering this inflammation have yet to be determined. One line of thought would appear to point to diet...

..Furthermore, with respect to the connections observed between C-reactive protein, most cardiovascular risk factors, atherosclerotic diseases and pulse pressure, subclinical inflammation might also underlie these relations...

..To determine whether blood pressure control in a general practice setting is influenced by the presence of additional risk factors, and to analyse the role of antihypertensive therapy in this relationship...

..To determine the relationships between pulse wave velocity (PWV), an estimate of arterial distensibility and cardiovascular risk factors...

..RISK FACTORS: Diabetes control must of course be maintained and coherent management requires taking into consideration all the risk factors, especially smoking and dylipidemia...

..Achieving normal blood pressure throughout the hospitalisation should improve long term blood pressure control, reduce pulse pressure and improve the prognosis in this high risk population...

..table: see text] The study suggests the relevance of aldosterone precursors assays in low renin hypertension non due to aldosterone and in incidentally discovered adrenal masses...

..In this study the global cardiovascular risks are not related to therapeutic decisions. Therapeutic strategies are influenced by ABP level and by the vascular remodeling which depends partly on the global cardiovascular risk...

..We aimed at exploring the link between BMI and several oral health markers, after adjustment for dietary patterns and plasma insulin, both of which could act as mediators...

..In women, treated patients have a risk close to the level observed in untreated hypertensives...

..CONCLUSION: In general practice, 85% of hypertensives at highest risk are uncontrolled whereas half of them are under monotherapy. An antihypertensive strategy based on global risk may improve BP control in high risk patients...

..9 p < 0.05). Our study shows that arterial distensibility links BPV and N/D. It is suggested that an arterial distensibility impairment could enhance BPV and modify nycthemeral BP pattern...

..Our data indicate that the nycthemeral BP pattern was different according to the metabolic status. The loss of nocturnal decline in BP is associated with carbohydrate disturbances and reduced arterial stiffness...

..What now remains is to demonstrate the molecular connection between the intestinal microflora and metabolic diseases. We propose here that the proinflammatory lipopolysaccharides play a causal role in the onset of metabolic disorders...

..The early correction of such vascular anomalies is vital for medium and long-term blood pressure control...

..The aim of this study was to investigate, in humans, the relationship of sCD14 with aortic stiffness and to analyse the influence of arterial structure and endothelial function on this relationship...

..Therefore, strategies aimed at controlling the ecological mutualism between intestinal microflora and the host should lead to a new era of therapeutic and health benefits...

..We conclude that the LPS/CD14 system sets the tone of insulin sensitivity and the onset of diabetes and obesity. Lowering plasma LPS concentration could be a potent strategy for the control of metabolic diseases...

..The baroreflex plays an essential role in regulating the cardiovascular system. However, very few studies have focused on the links between genetic polymorphisms and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS)...

..Its role in the central nervous system remains to be determined. We studied the effects of central insulin infusion on femoral arterial blood flow and heart rate in normal chow-fed, high-fat diet-fed diabetic, and eNOS-null mice...
