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.

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%.

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.

Home Blood Pressure Determination

JAMA, 1974
Self-determined home blood pressure readings taken by 112 patients with borderline hypertension were compared to values of 49 normotensive controls. Thirty percent of patients with borderline hypertensive readings in the clinic were hypertensive at home; only 28% of patients were clearly normotensive.

AUSCULTATORY BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1917
We desire to call attention to a phenomenon which we have noted in the course of routine blood pressure determinations by the auscultatory method. It has doubtless been observed by others, but so far as we know there is no mention of it in the literature. It will be recalled that Korotkoff, in first describing the auscultatory method of blood pressure

Determination of Blood Pressure in Children

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension. Part A: Theory and Practice, 1986
The present paper reviews the epidemiologic patterns of blood pressure in children by demographic variables such as age, race, sex, education and social class. Other possible determinants for high blood pressure in both adults and children are also discussed, including obesity and salt intake.

[Ambulatory blood pressure determination].

Presse medicale (Paris, France : 1983), 1994
Recent studies have confirmed that the mean blood pressure levels recorded during ambulatory monitoring are lower than the levels measured by the standard cuff method, possibly due to the "white coat" effect which involves as many as 25 to 30% of the total hypertensive population. In addition, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is particularly useful

Blood pressure determination in children

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1939
Summary When one plots the readings for systolic pressure obtained with cuffs of different widths by the usual auscultatory methods against the cuff width, a curve is obtained which is characteristic for each individual. in most cases, it rises sharply as one passes to successively narrower cuffs, and flattens out in the region of wide cuffs.
