Does angiotensin II-dependent hypertension cause reversible changes in the platelet proteome?
ANG II-dependent hypertension is associated with enhanced protein degradation in platelets. As these changes are reversible, the proteins identified might be used to develop a biomarker for monitoring recent blood pressure history.
Irrespective of level of attendance, cardiac rehabilitation programmes are not meeting the needs of many older people either in terms of risk factor reduction or programme uptake. More appropriate programmes are needed.
