Time-Dependent Drug Administration in Hypertension and its Effect on Blood Pressure Variability

Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine, 2017
Background: Optimizing blood pressure variability seems to represent a new therapeutic target in the management of hypertension. It is emphasized that scheduling at least one antihypertensive agent at bedtime, has the ability to reduce blood pressure.

Impact of Mean and Variability of High‐Density Lipoprotein‐Cholesterol on the Risk of Myocardial Infarction, Stroke, and Mortality in the General Population

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background A low level of high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol (HDL‐C) is a well‐known risk factor for cardiovascular events. Recent studies have also suggested that HDL‐C variability has a predictive role in patients with coronary artery disease.

Impact of Visit-to-Visit Triglyceride-Glucose Index Variability on the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in the Elderly

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2022
Background. The aging population is increasingly susceptible to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Visit-to-visit variability in glucose and lipid levels both contributed to CVD risk independent of their mean values.

China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial: Visit‐to‐Visit Systolic Blood Pressure Variability Is an Independent Predictor of Primary Stroke in Hypertensive Patients

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
Background The optimal range of blood pressure variability remains unclear. We aimed to stratify the degree of risk of stroke based on visit‐to‐visit systolic blood pressure (SBP) variability in a large Chinese hypertensive population in 32 communities ...

Early Body Mass Index z‐Score Change and Resolution of Severe Malnutrition in Children With Sickle Cell Anemia in a Low‐Income Setting: A Prospective Single‐Arm Extension Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) in low‐income settings are at risk of severe malnutrition, but optimal nutritional management has not been established. We evaluated an intensified ready‐to‐use therapeutic food (RUTF) regimen in children with persistent severe malnutrition after initial treatment and assessed whether early ...
