Extensive evidence shows that risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) begin to develop early in life. Childhood obesity and elevated blood pressure (BP) have become overwhelmingly challenging, with 57% of today's children predicted to be obese

BACKGROUND: Hypertension and diabetes cause chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction (DVD) as forerunners of disability and death. Home blood pressure telemonitoring (HTM) and urinary peptidomic profiling (UPP) are tech

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS Hypertension is a growing health concern in childhood populations and individuals of African descent. As the kidneys play a significant role in blood pressure regulation, we compared alpha-1 microglobulin (A1M) as a marker of p

Background and aims Heart rate variability (HRV) is a main determinant of autonomic function and related to the development of hypertension and cardiovascular (CV) disease. Hypertension develops in black populations at an earlier age, which could be

Raised blood pressure, with the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) as a central regulatory component, is one of the most important contributors to early development of left ventricular hypertrophy. Factors such as increased age, sex, black ethnicity and

Background and aims Increased left ventricular mass is an independent predictor for cardiovascular events, and shown to be higher in black than white populations. To gain a better understanding of early factors contributing to increased left ventricu

BACKGROUND Obesity and hypertension prevalence among children are a concern, with limited evidence available on sex and ethnic differences in childhood blood pressure. We aimed to determine the number of children with hypertension and obesity to iden
