The association between frontal QRS-T angle and reverse dipper status in newly diagnosed hypertensive patients Blood Press. Monit. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2023-04-01 Muammer Karakayali, Inanç Artac, Timor Omar, İbrahim Rencuzogullari, Yavuz Karabag, Tufan Cinar, Mehmet Altunova, Serif Hamideyin
The frontal QRS-T angle (fQRS-T angle) in ECG is a new measure of myocardial repolarization, in which a higher fQRS-T angle is linked with worse cardiac outcomes. Reverse dipper hypertension is also linked to poor cardiac outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between the fQRS-T angle and reverse dipper status in individuals newly diagnosed with hypertension who did

Short-term effects of transcatheter aortic valve replacement on blood pressure and cardiac function in elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis Blood Press. Monit. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2023-04-01 Rie Aoyama, Kazuhiro Takeda, Joji Ishikawa, Kazumasa Harada
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a standard treatment for elderly and high-risk patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS); however, its short-term effects on blood pressure (BP) and cardiac function are not clear. Therefore, we aimed to determine the short-term effects of TAVR in elderly patients (>75 years), who reflect the clinical situation in Japan. Method and results

Validation of the Hingmed DBP-01P clinical automatic blood pressure monitor provided with wide-range cuff, evaluated in a general population according to the ISO 81060-2:2018 protocol Blood Press. Monit. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2023-04-01 Claudio Fania, Antonella Giletto, Valentina Zanello, Paolo Palatini
To determine the accuracy of the Hingmed DBP-01P monitor for clinical automatic blood pressure (BP) measurement according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 81060-2 2018 protocol. The DBP-01P was tested in 85 subjects from the general population (mean age, 69.9 years; 43 men) using a wide-range cuff for arm circumferences from 17 to 42 cm. The mean device–observer difference

Obstructive sleep apnea and ambulatory blood pressure abnormalities in children with chronic kidney disease Blood Press. Monit. (IF 1.3) Pub Date : 2023-03-14 Suryendru Kumar, Abhishek Goyal, Mahendra Atlani, Shikha Malik, Abhijit Pakhare, Mahesh Maheshwari, Amber Kumar, Rupesh Raina, Girish Chandra Bhatt
Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and hypertension are common complications in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Progression of CKD can aggravate OSA and hypertension whereas worsening sleep apnea can make hypertension difficult to treat in CKD patients. We, therefore, conducted a prospective study to evaluate the association between OSA and hypertension in pediatric patients with
