متن کاملAssociation between different measurements of blood pressure variability by ABP monitoring and ankle-brachial index
BACKGROUND Blood pressure (BP) variability has been associated with cardiovascular outcomes, but there is no consensus about the more effective method to measure it by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). We evaluated the association between three different methods to estimate BP variability by ABPM and the ankle brachial index (ABI). METHODS AND RESULTS In a cross-sectional study of ...
متن کاملAn evaluation of ankle–brachial blood pressure index in adult Nigerians with sickle cell anaemia
AIM There are few studies to be found in the literature on ankle-brachial index in sickle cell disease. The aim of this study was to compare ankle-brachial index of steadystate adult sickle cell anaemia patients with that of normal controls. METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study of 62 sickle cell anaemia patients and 62 age- and gender-matched normal controls was carried out in the adul...
