A review of genetics, arterial stiffness, and blood pressure in African Americans.

Journal of cardiovascular translational research - 1 Jun 2012

Hall Jennifer L, Duprez Daniel A, Barac Ana, Rich Stephen S

Abstract excerpt

The prevalence of hypertension in African Americans in the USA is among the highest in the world and increasing. The identification of genes and pathways regulating blood pressure in African Americans has been challenging. An early predictor of hypertension is arterial stiffness. The prevalence of arterial stiffness is significantly higher in African Americans compared to Caucasians. Approximately 20 % of the...
