Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a significant worldwide health issue, and early prevention and detection are therefore critical to lowering mor- tality. This heart disease prediction app relies on sophisticated machine learn-ing techniques to assess an individual’s risk level against vital health...

SHAP values also provide transparency and interpretability, allowing users to understand which...

Bacillus mucilaginosus was cultured in the medium containing illite, then the culture was burned in muffle to prepare adsorption material modified by microorganism. The biological modified illite (BMI) was used to adsorb cadmium ions at different conditions. The result showed that BMI had significantly...

Introduction: Both Type II Diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension have been associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and linked to impairments in micro- and macrocirculation. However, previous studies examining micro- and macrocirculation in DM mainly include patients with comorbid...

Introduction: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have autonomic dysfunction, which impacts heart rate and blood pressure regulation. Initial evidence also suggests an impaired ability to peripherally vasoconstrict during lower body negative pressure (LBNP). Given the relationship between vessel caliber...

Background: Hypogonadism associates with increased cardiovascular morbidity/mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)[1]. Increasing CAG repeat number within exon 1 of the androgen receptor gene associates with increased androgen receptor resistance/insulin resistance [2]. We here investigated the...

Background: Arterial stiffness is a significant cardiovascular risk factor. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is the standard for measuring arterial stiffness, but indices such as central augmentation index (cAIx) and carotid artery elasticity (cE[p]) also correlate to arterial stiffness. Early-life...

Objective: White coat hypertension/effect (WCH/E) describes an elevated clinic blood pressure (BP) with normal daytime ambulatory BP (ABPM) values. It is not clear whether WCH/E is associated with adverse vascular risk. This study aimed to determine the relationship between WCH/E and arterial stiffness...

Objective: International guidelines advocate conservative management of post-stroke white coat hypertension. The aims of this study were to investigate; i) does WCH/E result in increased stroke risk? and ii) is WCH/E associated with surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk? Methods: The Arterial Stiffness...

Cerebral pulsatility is an emerging contributor to brain health that reflects the balance between the transmission and damping (i.e. attenuation) of pulsatility through extracranial vessels into the cerebrovasculature. Identifying biological (age, sex) and vascular contributors to pulsatile balance may...

Background: The range of central blood pressure (BP) found in individuals with high-normal brachial BP overlaps the one found in hypertension (HTN) and normotension. As central BP is possibly a better predictor of cardiovascular (CV) disease, the aim of this study was to determine the risk associated...

Background: We have previously shown that 3D echocardiography-derived (3DE) indices of left ventricular (LV) structure predict all-cause mortality differently in men and women [1]. However, the mechanism behind these sex differences remains unknown. We therefore examined the role of macro- and micro-vascular...
