Prognostic significance of between-arm blood pressure differences.
Blood pressure (BP) recordings often differ between arms, but the extent to which these differences are reproducible and whether the differences have prognostic importance is unknown. We enrolled 421 consecutive patients from a medicine and a renal clinic at a veterans' hospital. Three BP recordings were obtained in each arm using an oscillometric device in a sequential manner and repeated in 1...
متن کاملThe normal range for inter-arm differences in blood pressure.
OBJECTIVE to establish the mean and normal range for the difference in simultaneous systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements between the right and left arm. SUBJECTS 462 subjects, age range 20-89 years, in sinus rhythm and with no history of stroke, 98 of whom had a history of cardiovascular disease or were taking vasoactive medication. METHODS four simultaneous recordings of bloo...
متن کاملBlood Pressure Variability: Assessment, Prognostic Significance and Management.
Interest in blood pressure variability (BPV) as a cardiovascular risk factor has gained focus in recent times. Increased BPV places added strain on the cardiovascular (CV) system unrelated to its average value, leading to increased risk of target organ damage (TOD) and CV events. Recent data suggests that there is inter-drug variation in efficacy with calcium channel blockers (CCBs) such as Aml...
متن کاملBlood pressure differences between patients with lacunar and nonlacunar infarcts
BACKGROUND Elevated blood pressure is frequently seen in acute stroke, and patients with lacunar and nonlacunar infarcts may have different underlying mechanisms for increase in blood pressure. The impact of hypertension as a risk factor may also vary. The aims of the present study were to investigate blood pressure in patients presenting with lacunar syndromes but with different anatomical sub...
متن کاملEthnicity and differences between clinic and ambulatory blood pressure measurements.
BACKGROUND This study investigated the relationship of ethnicity to the differences between blood pressure (BP) measured in a clinic setting and by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in individuals with a previous diagnosis of hypertension (HT) and without a previous diagnosis of hypertension (NHT). METHODS A cross-sectional comparison of BP measurement was performed in 770 participa...
