Our findings suggest that increased SBP, DBP and resting HR as well as increased insulin and resistin plasma levels and decreased adiponectin plasma levels pre-exist in young healthy offspring with positive family history for essential hypertension.
Our study investigates the influence of the SNP +45 polymorphism of the adiponectin gene and serum levels of adiponectin on myocardial fibrosis in patients with essential hypertension.
