Garlic and African olive used as traditional Herbs for hypertension in the Western Cape
(University of the Western Cape, 2012)
Hypertension is a common chronic health problem worldwide due to contributing factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, unhealthy diet and changes in lifestyle. The standard of care for hypertension in South Africa is ...
Aspects of the interrelation between hypertension and insulin resistance: a preliminary study
(2009)
Background: It is well known that some genetic factors and dietary factors, such as
excessive salt intake and excessive caloric intake (resulting in obesity) are risk factors for hypertension. Fifty percent of all ...
Aspects of the interrelation between hypertension and insulin resistance
(University of the Western Cape, 2009)
Conclusion of this study: These data suggest that 6 weeks of high-fat feeding induces hypertension but does not produce obesity, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. However, this model may be useful in studying vascular ...
Development and validation of a pharmacogenomics profiling panel suitable for personalizing metformin therapy
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
The burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in South Africa is predicted to
increase substantially in the next decades if the necessary preventative measures are
not taken. The two most common NCDs associated with ...

Hypertension is by far the most common risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which has been identified as the leading cause of death worldwide and a major economic burden in developing countries. Over the years, ...
Prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension and the pharmacogenomics of enalapril-induced adverse effects among patients in the Vhembe district
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
Controlling blood pressure (BP) among individuals with hypertension is important in the
prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, maintaining optimal BP levels in
individuals who are prone to drug-induced ...
