Comparison between waist and mid-upper arm circumferences in influencing systolic blood pressure in adolescence: the SHARP (Sardinian Hypertensive Adolescent Research Programme) study

Journal of Pediatric and Neonatal Individualized Medicine, 2013
Background: The correlation between high blood pressure (BP) and overweight in children is widely acknowledged, although the role of body fat distribution in this association remains to be fully elucidated.

Pathophysiologic Consequences of Early Coarctation Stenting in a Longitudinal Porcine Model

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Novel stent technologies offer early intravascular treatment options for coarctation (COA). Mid‐to‐long‐term cardiovascular responses to early COA stent interventions are undefined. Aims We studied a porcine model of COA, with and without early stent implantation with serial dilation to adult aortic diameters, aiming to define ...

Arterial stiffness and diastolic blood pressure: what is the connection?

Artery Research, 2007
Although brachial systolic blood pressure (SBP) is the overall best predictor of future cardiovascular risk for the entire hypertensive population, there is much that can be learned from assessing diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in relation to ...

Validation of the European Society of Cardiology Ischemic and Bleeding Risk Criteria for Risk Stratification After Endovascular Therapy in Japanese Patients With Lower Extremity Artery Disease

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for peripheral artery disease recommend antithrombotic strategies based on high ischemic risk (HIR) and high bleeding risk (HBR) criteria. However, their prognostic value in patients with lower extremity artery disease (LEAD) undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT) remains unclear ...

Echocardiographic assessment of hypertensive changes in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension and its correlation with pulse pressure

Medical Journal of Dr. D.Y. Patil University, 2013
Context: Isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) is increasingly recognized as a cardiovascular risk factor. Increase in pulse pressure is a powerful independent predictor of cardiovascular events.

The Impact of a Visualized Steerable Sheath on Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for First‐Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Prospective, Randomized, Single‐Blind Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A 3D electroanatomical mapping (3D‐EAM) visualized steerable sheath was designed to improve catheter placement and reduce radiation exposure during ablation, an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, prospective randomized data comparing the procedural and clinical outcomes of visualized and non‐visualized ...

Lower AKI Risk and Higher Survival With Microaxial Flow Pump Support During Elective PCI: A Propensity Score‐Matched Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with worse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Previous, smaller studies suggested nephroprotective effects of micro‐axial flow pump (mAFP) during PCI. This study aimed to compare renal outcomes of high‐risk PCI with mAFP or intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) support.

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and Its Determinants Among Older Adults in India: Evidence From a Nationally Representative Survey

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality, posing a major challenge to its rapidly aging demographic. Early identification of individuals at high risk for future cardiovascular events is paramount for implementing timely preventative strategies.

The triglyceride-glucose index is associated with a higher risk of hypertension: evidence from a cross-sectional study of Chinese adults and meta-analysis of epidemiology studies

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundThe results of population-based studies show a diverse association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate this association based on a cross-sectional study on Chinese adults and ...
