DETERMINANTS OF BLOOD PRESSURE IN SNORERS

The Lancet, 1988
To examine the hypothesis that the tendency to raised blood pressure in snorers is associated with nocturnal hypoxaemia and snoring, blood pressure was measured and snoring, oxyhaemoglobin saturation (SaO2), and thoraco-abdominal movements were monitored overnight in 372 snorers.

DETERMINATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE AT THE ANKLE

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1954
In the routine study of patients with hypertension, the determination of the blood pressure in the legs is now recognized as a necessity. Usually this pressure is obtained by placing a large, specially constructed blood pressure cuff around the thigh and auscultating over the popliteal artery.

Necrophysiological determination of blood pressure in fishes

Naturwissenschaften, 2005
Bony fishes have an elastic chamber between the heart and aorta, the bulbus arteriosus, which has unique mechanical properties. On inflation, the isolated bulbus is initially very stiff but soon becomes extremely compliant yielding a steady (plateau) pressure upon further inflation, which appears to be similar in any given species.

Correlates of the Hemodynamic Determinants of Blood Pressure

Hypertension, 1996
The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of sex, race, lean body mass, and fat mass with the hemodynamic determinants of blood pressure, including stroke volume, heart rate, and total peripheral vascular resistance. The study included 201 subjects aged 6 to 17 years, 105 of whom were male and 98 of whom were black. Lean

Genetic determinants of blood pressure regulation

Journal of Hypertension, 2005
Hypertension is a multifactorial disorder that probably results from the inheritance of a number of susceptibility genes and involves multiple environmental determinants. Existing evidence suggests that the genetic contribution to blood pressure variation is about 30-50%.

DEVELOPMENTAL DETERMINANTS OF BLOOD PRESSURE IN ADULTS

Annual Review of Nutrition, 2005
▪ Abstract  Over the past 20 years a large and varied body of research has attempted to make the case for the developmental origins of elevated adult blood pressure (BP). Experimental animal research has identified plausible biological mechanisms through which fetal nutritional insufficiency may affect adult BP.

Genetic Determinants of Blood Pressure Regulation

The Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 1999
Blood pressure homeostasis in humans reflects the coordinate interactions of cardiac output, peripheral vascular resistance, renal volume control, and CNS integration in response to short- and long-term environmental stimuli. Variations in mean arterial pressure within the population include a significant hereditary component.

Determinants of blood pressure in childhood and adolescence

Journal of Hypertension, 1989
Relationships between blood pressure and dietary factors were investigated in 434 boys and 450 girls aged 9 years. Dietary data were obtained from a food-frequency questionnaire which was completed by parents. This was used to estimate daily energy intake and the intake of 14 nutrients considered likely to influence blood pressure.

Nutrition-related determinants of blood pressure

Preventive Medicine, 1985
The importance of high blood pressure as a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) has led to extensive research in the etiology of hypertension. Regulation of blood pressure (BP) in humans involves many different organs and physiological processes that contribute either directly to the determination of BP level or indirectly by modifying ...

Determinants of blood pressure in Jerusalem schoolchildren

Preventive Medicine, 1984
In 1982, 113 first- and second-graders attending an elementary school in West Jerusalem had their blood pressure (BP), height, weight, and resting pulse measured. Three successive BP readings were taken. The mean of the second and third readings was used for data analysis.
