Physicians' perceptions and adherence to guidelines for the management of hypertension: a national, multicentre, prospective study.
Mamas Theodorou,Panagiotis Stafylas,Georgia Kourlaba,Daphne Kaitelidou,Nikos Maniadakis,Vasilios Papademetriou +5 more
TL;DR: The study demonstrated that although Cypriot physicians declared that they were aware of the clinical guidelines for the management of hypertension, more than one-fourth of high risk hypertensive patients remained untreated and 40% of low risk patients received inappropriate medication.
Effects of Moderate Intensity Exercise on Serum Lipids in African-American Men With Severe Systemic Hypertension
Peter Kokkinos,Puneet Narayan,John A. Colleran,Ross D. Fletcher,Raj Lakshman,Vasilios Papademetriou +5 more
TL;DR: Low to moderate intensity aerobic exercise may not be adequate to modify lipid profiles favorably in patients with severe hypertension, however, substantial changes in HDL cholesterol were noted in patients exercising at intensities > or = 75% of age-predicted maximum heart rate, suggesting an exercise-intensity threshold.
Relation of impaired left ventricular filling to systolic midwall mechanics in hypertensive patients with normal left ventricular systolic chamber function: the Losartan Intervention for Endpoint Reduction in Hypertension (LIFE) study.
Kristian Wachtell,Vasilios Papademetriou,Gunnar Smith,Eva Gerdts,Björn Dahlöf,Erik Engblom,Gerard P. Aurigemma,Jonathan N. Bella,Hans Ibsen,Jens Rokkedal,Richard B. Devereux +10 more
TL;DR: In patients with moderate hypertension and target organ damage who have normal LV ejection fraction, impaired early diastolic LV relaxation (abnormal E/A ratio, prolonged IVRT and deceleration time) is associated with impaired LV systolic midwall mechanics independent of higher LV mass.

Costas Tsioufis,Kyriakos Dimitriadis,Alexandros Kasiakogias,Theodoros Kalos,I. Liatakis,E. Koutra,Lefki Nikolopoulou,E. Lau,Vasilios Papademetriou,Dimitrios Tousoulis +9 more
TL;DR: Strategies to target specifically the elevated sympathetic nerve activity may provide substantial clinical benefits to patients with metabolic syndrome and associated hypertension at 3 months post-RDN.
Assisted reproductive technology and pregnancy-related hypertensive complications: a systematic review
Costas Thomopoulos,Constantinos Tsioufis,H. Michalopoulou,Thomas Makris,Vasilios Papademetriou,C. Stefanadis +5 more
TL;DR: The overall evidence suggests that ART-oriented pregnancies—especially the in-vitro fertilization techniques—are accompanied by increased risk for gestational hypertension and preeclampsia as compared with non-ART pregnancies, even after adjustment for confounders.
