Antihypertensive efficacy of hydrochlorothiazide as evaluated by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring: a meta-analysis of randomized trials.
Franz H. Messerli,Harikrishna Makani,Alexandre M. Benjo,Jorge Romero,Carlos L. Alviar,Sripal Bangalore +5 more
TL;DR: The antihypertensive efficacy of HCTZ in its daily dose of 12.5 to 25 mg as measured in head-to-head studies by ambulatory BP measurement is consistently inferior to that of all other drug classes.

Impaired shear stress-induced nitric oxide production through decreased NOS phosphorylation contributes to age-related vascular stiffness
Kevin G. Soucy,Sungwoo Ryoo,Alexandre M. Benjo,Hyun Kyo Lim,Hyun Kyo Lim,Gaurav Gupta,Jayson S. Sohi,Jeremy Elser,Miguel A. Aon,Daniel Nyhan,Artin A. Shoukas,Dan E. Berkowitz +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of aging on shear stress-inducible arteries were investigated, showing that increased arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction contribute to multiple vascular diseases and are hallmarks of cardiovascular aging.

Meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials comparing short-term versus long-term dual antiplatelet therapy following drug-eluting stents.
Georges El-Hayek,Franz H. Messerli,Sripal Bangalore,Mun K. Hong,Eyal Herzog,Alexandre M. Benjo,Jacqueline E. Tamis-Holland +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors search PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases from inception until October 2013 for randomized controlled trials that compared shorter versus longer DAPT duration after DES implantation.

Comparison of Cutting Balloon Angioplasty and Percutaneous Balloon Angioplasty of Arteriovenous Fistula Stenosis: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials.
Shiv Kumar Agarwal,Girish N. Nadkarni,Rabi Yacoub,Achint Patel,J.S. Jenkins,Tyrone J. Collins,Narender Annapureddy,Damodar Kumbala,Shirisha Bodana,Alexandre M. Benjo +9 more
TL;DR: PCB angioplasty is effective in treatment of hemodialysis access stenosis, with significantly higher six-month patency compared to balloons, and the device related complications were not statistically significant.

Pulse Pressure Is an Age-Independent Predictor of Stroke Development After Cardiac Surgery
Alexandre M. Benjo,Richard E. Thompson,Derek M. Fine,Charles W. Hogue,Diane Alejo,Anita Kaw,Gary Gerstenblith,Ashish S. Shah,Dan E. Berkowitz,Daniel Nyhan +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the value of vascular stiffness, as assessed by brachial pulse pressure (PP) measurements, in predicting stroke in patients followed for 348±215 days after cardiac surgery, suggests that indices ofascular stiffness could be important predictors of neurologic complications.
