7% of the US population suffers from an #autoimmunedisease and #CVDisease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Excited to share the stage with Cornelia M. Weyand, Brittany Weber, and heba wassif to discuss this important topic at #Hypertension23 tomorrow at 4:30.

Fantastic poster presentation by Jaya Krishnan at #Hypertension23 #CouncilonHTN in #Boston!

Congratulations to Néstor de la Visitación on your new investigator award and a fantastic talk at #Hypertension23 #councilonhtn! #risingstar

What if I told you that #hypertension acts like an #autoimmune disease? That during HTN, activated immune cells damage target organs (kidney, heart, etc)? To read about the immune mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of HTN, check out my latest review lnkd.in/efNEhUbk

Excited to present our paper on the immunoproteasome in #hypertension published today in Circulation Research. Congrats to first author Néstor de la Visitación for incredible work! @VUMCClinPharm @VUMC_Heart @VUMC_Medicine Vanderbilt University Medical Center ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CI…
