Cutaneous control of blood pressure [PDF]
Textbook theory holds that blood pressure (BP) is regulated by the brain, by blood vessels, or by the kidney. Recent evidence suggests that BP could be regulated in the skin.The skin holds a complex capillary counter current system, which controls body temperature, skin perfusion, and apparently systemic BP.

Adipokines and blood pressure control [PDF]
In contrast to previous understanding, adipocytes are now known to produce an array of factors collectively termed 'adipokines', several of which have effects on the cardiovascular system. The marked rise in prevalence of obesity warrants investigation into the role of adipocyte-derived factors in the regulation of blood pressure.

Zofenopril: Blood pressure control and cardio-protection
Current hypertension guidelines suggest various strategies to reduce blood pressure levels, thereby reducing cardiovascular events: combinations of drugs with different mechanisms of action, such as an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and

Significance of Mean Blood Pressure for Blood Pressure Control
The significance of pulse pressure (PP) and mean blood pressure (MBP) for blood pressure (BP) control is unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between PP and MBP and BP control. We obtained home BP measurements for 117 patients aged 40-75 years with either office systolic BP (SBP) >or= 140 mmHg or office diastolic BP (DBP) >or=

Blood Pressure Measurement Biases in Clinical Settings, Alabama, 2010–2011
Introduction Blood pressure measurement in clinical care settings seldom follows the protocol recommended by national guidelines, potentially leading to overestimates or underestimates of blood pressure control.

Blood pressure variability and target organ damage regression in hypertension
The study by Triantafyllidi et al. supports the view that regression of subclinical cardiac damage requires an effective 24‐hour blood pressure (BP) control along with a reduction in BP variability and suggests that the assessment of BPV and its ...
