Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have greatly expanded our understanding of the genetic architecture of cardiovascular diseases in the past decade. They have revealed hundreds of suggestive genetic loci that replicate known biological candidate genes and indicate the existence of a previously unsuspected new biology relevant to cardiovascular disorders. These data have been used successfully to create genetic risk scores that may improve risk prediction and the identification of susceptive individuals. Furthermore, these GWAS-identified novel pathways may herald a new era of novel drug development and stratification of patients. In this review, we will briefly summarize the literature on the candidate genes and signals discovered by GWAS on hypertension and coronary artery disease and discuss their implications on clinical medicine.

BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease. Although measurement of pulse wave velocity is a widely accepted, noninvasive approach for the assessment…
Irrespective of apparent 'normal' resting blood pressure (BP), some individuals may experience an excessive elevation in BP with exercise (i.e. systolic BP ≥210 mm Hg in men or ≥190 mm Hg in women or diastolic BP ≥110…
The global health burden presented by hypertension is providing increased motivation for improved means of collection of blood pressure (BP) data. A growing area of research and commercial activity is the use of…
BACKGROUND: Aortic stiffness is associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and cognitive decline. This mini-review focuses on relations of aortic stiffness with microvascular dysfunction and discusses the…
BACKGROUND: Vascular aging may cause cerebral microvascular damage and cognitive dysfunction. There is incremental evidence that consistently implicates arterial stiffness being involved in the manifestation of…
BACKGROUND: Arterial stiffness is a natural consequence of aging, accelerated in certain chronic conditions, and predictive of cardiovascular events in adults. Emerging research suggests the importance of arterial…
Objective: This research aimed to investigate the predictive value of the uric acid-to-serum albumin ratio (UAR) in establishing the severity and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) with non-ST segment elevation…
Elevated arterial stiffness has emerged as an important risk factor for future cardiovascular (CV) events in men and women. However, gender-related differences in arterial stiffness have not been clearly demonstrated…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Serum copper has been linked to the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the potential association between serum copper and venous thromboembolism (VTE) is not known…
According to the 4th National Nutrition and Health Survey in 2002, the prevalence of hypertension in China was 18.8%. Although there are no recent updated nationwide data, it is believed that the prevalence of…
