Background and Purpose—High blood pressure (BP) in acute stroke is associated independently with a poor outcome. Recent evidence suggests that other hemodynamic parameters may also be associated with outcomes following stroke. Methods—The relationship between baseline BP, heart rate, and other hemodynamic parameters, and early outcomes were assessed using data from TAIST trial. Results—Death or...

Twenty-four hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is a valuable tool in the pediatric and adolescent population with type 1 diabetes. It provides useful information not readily available from sporadic clinic blood pressure (BP) measurements and a more reliable estimation of the subject's BP over an extended period of time. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is gaining popularity wi...

abstract background: normal standard references of blood pressure (bp) for children and adolescents should be constructed according to anthropometric indices. therefore , we aimed to produce bp reference percentiles by body mass index (bmi). methods: data on demographic characteristics, anthropometric indices and bp values of 16246 3-18-year-old children and adolescents from 3 cross-sectional s...

Self-monitoring of Blood Pressure (BP) among hypertensive patients is a significant for the management and prevention hypertension related complications such as atherosclerosis, Heart Failure (HF), Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), stroke, kidney disease, peripheral arterial disease.

Background: Smoking is one of the preventable causes of disease in middle and low-income countries. This study was conducted in smokers and non-smokers to observe the changes in total count of leukocytes in cigarette smokers in relation to body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP). Methods:The study populations were from different sources including diagnostic center and general hospital, an...

This study was designed to assess the effect of the addition of low-dose spironolactone on blood pressure (BP) in patients with resistant arterial hypertension. Patients with office systolic blood pressure (SBP) >140 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP)>90 mm Hg despite treatment with at least 3 antihypertensive drugs, including a diuretic, were enrolled in this double-blind, placebo-control...
