Methods for Measuring Blood Pressure and Applications to Diabetes
The prevalence of hypertension in youth with diabetes is higher than in the nondiabetic individuals. Hypertension is a major cardiovascular risk...

Piezo1 channel activation facilitates baroreflex afferent neurotransmission with subsequent blood pressure reduction in control and hypertension rats
Mechanosensitive cation channels such as Piezo1 and Piezo2 are activated by mechanical force like a starched wall of the aorta while blood pressure...

Effects of elevated systolic blood pressure on ischemic heart disease: a Burden of Proof study
High systolic blood pressure (SBP) is a major risk factor for ischemic heart disease (IHD), the leading cause of death worldwide. Using data from...

Protein–protein interaction network-based integration of GWAS and functional data for blood pressure regulation analysis
BackgroundIt is valuable to analyze the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data for a complex disease phenotype in the context of the...

Potential considerations with estimating blood flow restriction pressure in the lower body using a narrower cuff
Blood flow restriction pressures are typically set as a percentage of the arterial occlusion pressure. For those who do not have the ability to...

Influence of arterial blood gases on the renal arterial resistive index in intensive care unit
BackgroundRenal artery Doppler sonography with resistive index (RI) determination is a noninvasive, fast, and reliable diagnostic tool increasingly...

The Effect of Different Exercise Modes and Intensities on Blood Pressure in African Americans Group: a Systematic Review
BackgroundRegular exercise participation has been known to lower blood pressure for decades. However, despite the positive hemodynamics and...

Influence of acute dietary nitrate supplementation timing on nitrate metabolism, central and peripheral blood pressure and exercise tolerance in young men
PurposeDietary nitrate (NO 3 − ) supplementation can lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) and improve exercise performance. Salivary flow rate (SFR) and...

Interstitial-fluid shear stresses induced by vertically oscillating head motion lower blood pressure in hypertensive rats and humans
The mechanisms by which physical exercise benefits brain functions are not fully understood. Here, we show that vertically oscillating head motions...

Genome-wide analysis in over 1 million individuals of European ancestry yields improved polygenic risk scores for blood pressure traits
Hypertension affects more than one billion people worldwide. Here we identify 113 novel loci, reporting a total of 2,103 independent genetic signals (

15 weeks of soccer training increases left ventricular mass and improves indices of left ventricular diastolic function in previously sedentary, mildly hypertensive, middle-aged women
PurposeTo investigate the impact of soccer training on cardiac adaptations in mildly hypertensive middle-aged women.
MethodsHypertensive...

Blood pressure and dementia risk by physical frailty in the elderly: a nationwide cohort study
BackgroundMidlife hypertension has been recognized as a modifiable risk factor for dementia, but association between blood pressure (BP) in late life...

Development of a prediction equation to estimate lower-limb arterial occlusion pressure with a thigh sphygmomanometer
IntroductionPrevious investigators have developed prediction equations to estimate arterial occlusion pressure (AOP) for blood flow restriction (BFR)...

Blood pressure variability and medial temporal atrophy in apolipoprotein ϵ4 carriers
Blood pressure variability is an emerging risk factor for dementia but relationships with markers of neurodegeneration and Alzheimer’s disease risk...

Circuit-Specific Control of Blood Pressure by PNMT-Expressing Nucleus Tractus Solitarii Neurons
The nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) is one of the morphologically and functionally defined centers that engage in the autonomic regulation of...

Day-by-Day Home Blood Pressure Monitoring as a Biomarker in Diabetes
Home blood pressure (HBP) is an indispensable tool for hypertension management, because both increased mean HBP and day-by-day HBP variability (HBPV)...

Association Between Regular Blood Pressure Monitoring and the Risk of Intracranial Aneurysm Rupture: a Multicenter Retrospective Study with Propensity Score Matching
Although hypertension is a known risk factor for intracranial aneurysm rupture, the benefit of the management of blood pressure in reducing the...

Automated analysis of finger blood pressure recordings provides insight in determinants of baroreflex sensitivity and heart rate variability—the HELIUS study
Sympathovagal balance is important in the pathogenesis of hypertension and independently associated with mortality. We evaluated the value of...

Trimethylamine, a gut bacteria metabolite and air pollutant, increases blood pressure and markers of kidney damage including proteinuria and KIM-1 in rats
BackgroundTrimethylamine oxide (TMAO) is a biomarker in cardiovascular and renal diseases. TMAO originates from the oxidation of trimethylamine...

The circadian rhythm of arterial blood pressure in Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia
Hypertension is considered a risk factor for stroke and dementia. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a useful tool in the diagnosis and...
