“…Variation in vWF levels is also seen in different ethnic groups, with black populations having higher levels of this protein (59)(60)(61)(62)(63). Miller et al found black women to have significantly higher FVIII and vWF levels with consequently, a lower ADAMTS13 activity when compared to white women (59).…”

for their supervision, time, support, guidance, valuable intellectual input, helpful feedback and constructive criticism. Lastly, as a new student I am grateful to them for welcoming me with open arms and for being such great inspiration.  All the participants who participated in the African Prospective study on the Early Detection and Identification of Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension (African-PREDICT) for their voluntary participation. Without them the study would not be possible.  The Hypertension in Africa Research Team (HART) staff and students for their hard work and dedication. The National Research Foundation (NRF) for the financial assistance. Without their scholarship enrolling for this degree would not have been possible. My mother and sister for all their sacrifices, support and unconditional love. My grandparents for their support and never ending prayers. My friends for their support and encouragement. vi PREFACEThis dissertation (The association of von Willebrand factor and its cleaving protease

Globally most interventions focus on improving lifestyle habits and treatment regimens to combat hypertension as a non-communicable disease (NCD). However, despite these interventions and improved medical treatments, blood pressure (BP) values are still on the rise and poorly controlled in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Other factors contributing to hypertension prevalence, such as chronic emotional stress, might provide some insight for future health policy approaches.Currently, Hypertension Society guidelines do not mention emotional stress as a probable cause for hypertension. Recently the 2014 World Global Health reports, suggested that African governments should consider using World Health Organization hypertension data as a proxy indicator for social well-being. However, the possibility that a stressful life and taxing environmental factors might disturb central neural control of BP regulation has largely been ignored in SSA.Linking emotional stress to vascular dysregulation is therefore one way to investigate increased cardiometabolic challenges, neurotransmitter depletion and disturbed hemodynamics. Disruption of stress response pathways and subsequent changes in lifestyle habits as ways of coping with a stressful life, and as probable cause for hypertension prevalence in SSA, may be included in future preventive measures. We will provide an overview on emotional stress and central neural control of BP and will include also implications thereof for clinical practice in SSA cohorts.
