Association of simultaneously measured four-limb blood pressures with cardiovascular function: a cross-sectional study
BACKGROUND Simultaneous measurement of four-limb blood pressures can improve the accuracy of cardiovascular disease diagnosis. This study aims to investigate the association of simultaneously measured four-limb blood pressures with cardiovascular function as the non-invasive diagnostic method of cardiovascular disease in primary care. METHODS 229 subjects (62 males, mean age, 63.50 ± 11.13 ye...

متن کاملAssociation of resting heart rate with cardiovascular function: a cross-sectional study in 522 Finnish subjects
BACKGROUND High resting heart rate (HR) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in general populations, possibly due to elevated blood pressure (BP) or sympathetic over-activity. We studied the association of resting HR with cardiovascular function, and examined whether the hemodynamics remained similar during passive head-up tilt. METHODS Hemodynamics were recorded using whole-body ...
