Sleep pulse pressure and awake mean pressure as independent predictors for stroke in older hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND It remains uncertain which is the stronger predictor for stroke in older hypertensives, ambulatory pulse pressure (PP) or mean blood pressure (MBP). METHODS We studied the prognosis for stroke in 811 older hypertensives in whom ambulatory BP monitoring was performed. We also assessed silent cerebral infarct (SCI) by brain magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS Silent cerebral infarc...
متن کاملIncreased ambulatory pulse pressure is a strong risk factor for coronary endothelial vasomotor dysfunction.
OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to determine the relationship between pulse pressure (PP) and coronary vasomotor dysfunction, a predictor of coronary events. BACKGROUND Pulse pressure is a strong risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the mechanisms by which an increase in PP affects the pathogenesis of CAD are unclear. METHODS Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring for ...
متن کاملAccuracy of pulse interval timing in ambulatory blood pressure measurement
Blood pressure (BP) monitors rely on pulse detection. Some blood pressure monitors use pulse timings to analyse pulse interval variability for arrhythmia screening, but this assumes that the pulse interval timings detected from BP cuffs are accurate compared with RR intervals derived from ECG. In this study we compared the accuracy of pulse intervals detected using an ambulatory blood pressure ...
متن کاملAt 68 years, unrecognised sleep apnoea is associated with elevated ambulatory blood pressure.
After the age of 65 yrs the specific impact of unrecognised sleep-related breathing disorders (SRBD) on 24-h blood pressure (BP) levels remains under debate. We tested the cross-sectional relationship between the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea (OSAH) and the increase of BP using ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) in the PROOF (PROgnostic indicator OF cardiovascular and cerebrovascu...
متن کاملThe association of waist circumference with ambulatory blood pressure is independent of alternative adiposity indices.
AIM The relationship between waist circumference (WC) and conventional blood pressure (BP) is independent of other clinical indices of adiposity. As ambulatory BP may offer more prognostic information than conventional BP, we aimed to identify whether indices of central adiposity are associated with ambulatory BP independent of other indices of adiposity. METHODS The relationship between indi...
