View full abstract and other project information on NIH RePORTER Go To NIH RePORTER Excerpt: Despite multiple initiatives in the VA healthcare system, at least 30% of the estimated three million Veterans with hypertension do not reach the current target blood pressure (BP). Hypertension induces pathological remodeling of the vascular wall, leading to further increases in BP and end organ dysfunction. These effects are linked to 5,000 annual deaths among Veterans. Emerging data suggest that mitochondrial ROS production is a common denominator in hypertension, but mechanistic concepts of... |
