The triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio identifies children who may be at risk of developing cardiometabolic disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Aim: It is important to develop simple, reliable methods to identify high-risk individuals who may benefit from intervention. This study investigated the association between the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio and ...

Should we calculate arterial stiffness gradient in middle-aged women with increased cardiovascular risk?

open access: yesBlood Pressure, 2019
Purpose: The study was designed to evaluate clinical and laboratory determinants pulse wave velocity (PWV) ratio in women at the age of 50–65 years without overt cardiovascular disease but having elevated cardiovascular risk, such as hypertension ...

Underestimation of systolic pressure in cuff-based blood pressure measurement [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
High blood pressure (hypertension) is the number one risk factor for premature death. Hypertension is asymptomatic, so blood pressure must be regularly monitored to diagnose it. In auscultatory blood pressure measurement, a patient's systolic (maximum) and diastolic (minimum) blood pressure are inferred from the pressure in an inflatable cuff wrapped ...

Management of hypertension in primary care [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: The European Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Hypertension define hypertension as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg Hg, or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg Hg, or both.

A sleep apnoea questionnaire predicts organ damage in hypertensive patients

open access: yesBlood Pressure, 2019
Background: Arterial hypertension is associated with obstructive sleep apnoea, poor quality and duration of sleep, which might contribute to hypertension-mediated organ damage.

Effects of non-physiological blood pressure artefacts on measures of cerebral autoregulation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Cerebral autoregulation refers to regulation mechanisms that aim to maintain cerebral blood flow approximately constant. It is often assessed by autoregulation index (ARI), which uses arterial blood pressure and cerebral blood flow velocity time series to produce a ten-scale index of autoregulation performance (0 denoting the absence of and 9 the ...
