The effect of ambient temperature and barometric pressure on ambulatory blood pressure variability.
BACKGROUND The effect of ambient temperature on cardiovascular disease has previously been studied. Less known are the effects of climate on blood pressure (BP) regulation, specifically, the role of temperature on BP variability. METHODS We investigated the effect of temperature and barometric pressure on ambulatory BP variability in 333 men and women with above-optimal BP or stage 1 hyperten...
متن کاملHigher Blood Pressure Variability in White Coat Hypertension; from the Korean Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Registry
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Blood pressure variability (BPV) was recently shown to be a risk factor of stroke. White coat hypertension (WCH) used to be regarded as innocuous, but one long-term follow-up study reported that WCH increased stroke rate compared to normotension (NT). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between WCH and BPV. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We analyzed 1398 subje...
متن کاملEstimation of blood pressure variability from 24-hour ambulatory finger blood pressure.
Portapres is a noninvasive, beat-to-beat finger blood pressure (BP) monitor that has been shown to accurately estimate 24-hour intra-arterial BP at normal and high BPs. However, no information is available on the ability of this device to accurately track ambulatory BP variability. In 20 ambulatory normotensive and hypertensive subjects, we measured 24-hour BP by Portapres and through a brachia...
متن کاملEffect of alcohol abstinence on blood pressure: assessment by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
Several studies have shown that cessation of alcohol drinking reduces blood pressure (BP). However, attempts to reproduce these findings by ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) have shown inconsistent results. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of 1 month of proven abstinence from alcohol on the 24-hour BP profile in heavy alcohol drinkers. Forty-two men who were heavy drinkers (>...
متن کاملVariability of circadian blood pressure profile during 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND Evaluation of circadian blood pressure (BP) profile is an important element of ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). Abnormal nocturnal fall in BP is more common in patients with secondary causes of hypertension and in the elderly. Cardiovascular risk is substantially increased in these patients. AIM Analysis of circadian BP profile in a population of treated hypertensives and identific...
