Hypertension Detection From High-Dimensional Representation of Photoplethysmogram Signals [PDF]
Hypertension is commonly referred to as the "silent killer", since it can lead to severe health complications without any visible symptoms. Early detection of hypertension is crucial in preventing significant health issues. Although some studies suggest a relationship between blood pressure and certain vital signals, such as Photoplethysmogram (PPG ...

Potassium and Hypertension [PDF]
A recent meta-analysis supports the premise that increased potassium intake may play a role in the prevention and treatment of hypertension. The possible mechanisms by which potassium may act as an antihypertensive and recommendations regarding increasing potassium intake are also discussed.

Core determinants of quality criteria for mhealth for hypertension: evidence from machine learning instruments [PDF]
Uncontrolled hypertension is a global problem that needs to be addressed. Despite the many mHealth solutions in the market, the nonadherence relative to intended use jeopardizes treatment success. Although investigating user experience is one of the most important mechanisms for understanding mHealth discontinuance, surprisingly, the core determinants ...

A pathway-based network analysis of hypertension-related genes [PDF]
Complex network approach has become an effective way to describe interrelationships among large amounts of biological data, which is especially useful in finding core functions and global behavior of biological systems. Hypertension is a complex disease caused by many reasons including genetic, physiological, psychological and even social factors.
