A little step closer to understanding the causes of persistent cardiac organ damage in #PrimaryAldosteronism @FemaleheartB

Study of contribution of subclinical forms of primary aldosteronism to #CVD, indicated by higher aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR), suggests negative association with CV health: greater arterial stiffness, cardiac remodeling & incident @OttawaRenal https://t.co/UhtZPIVheX
A 19.2 mmHg overestimation of BP is the result when using a standard cuff in a patient requiring an XL! 🤯 Great work @JunichiIshigami would also be interesting to see the results stratified by gender! @FemaleheartB
Using a regular blood pressure (BP) cuff regardless of individual’s arm size resulted in 3.6 mmHg lower systolic BP when a regular cuff was one size too-large, and 4.8 and 19.5 mmHg higher when a regular cuff was one and two sizes too small. https://t.co/ZKnGfWc9fy
@JunichiIshigami Congratulations on a remarkable paper! We knew cuff size matters, but this truly puts it into perspective! Did you explore sex-differences? That would be very interesting!
Congratulations to Ester Kringeland MD PhD presenting at #ESCCongress how high-normal #BP in 40 year old persons predict risk for #hypertension over 26 years follow-up better in #women than #men. @FemaleheartB @medofak_uib
Morgendagens leger undervises ikke om kjønnsforskjeller ved vanlige sykdommer. Mer om dette og annet interessant lesestoff i siste utgave av Paraplyen!

@_anjalinde just finished a great poster presentation on arterial stiffness and blood pressure in patients with rheumatoid arthritis! #esh2023 @FemaleheartB
.@EvaGerdts er tydelig i debatt på Kvinnehelsekonferansen «Kvinnehelse NOU - hva nå?» i et fullsatt Terminus Hall: Skal helsehjelpen være persontilpasset må det tas hensyn til genetisk kjønn. @FemaleheartB
Congratulations to PhD fellow Marit Sandberg with passing her midway evaluation today in her important project on #pregnancy in #women with congenital heart disease. @FemaleheartB @medofak_uib @haukeland_no
@esc 🌎 hypertension day! I've learned lot today! A big thanks to @EvaGerdts @MiguelCamafort @GParati22 and Isabella Sudano for sharing their expertise!
