Contributions of mean and shape of blood pressure distribution to worldwide trends and variations in raised blood pressure: a pooled analysis of 1018 population-based measurement studies with 88.6 million participants
(Oxford University Press, 2018-11)
Background: Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to bothshifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects ofpublic health interventions and secular trends) and ...
A Web and Mobile Applications for Self-control of Patient Blood Pressure Through Mobiles and Biometrics Devices
(International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient IntelligenceInternational Conference on Ubiquitous Computing and Ambient Intelligence, 10/07/2017)
In this article, we want to present a platform that allows the integration of different applications for the follow-up of patients with chronic diseases. We are developing two elements: the first one, is a mobile application ...
Chagas disease, a risk factor for high blood pressure
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-04)
Background: Chagas disease is a parasite infection caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Its most common complications is chronic Chagas heart disease but impairments of the systemic vasculature also has been observed. ...
Central Blood Pressure Waves Assessment: A Validation Study of Non-invasive Aortic Pressure Measurement in Human Beings
(Springer, 2020-04)
Introduction: Measurement of central (aortic) systolic blood pressure has been shown to provide reliable information to evaluate target organ damage. However, non-invasive central blood pressure measurement procedures are ...
Mechanisms involved in the relationship between low calcium intake and high blood pressure
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2019-05)
There is increasing epidemiologic and animal evidence that a low calcium diet increases blood pressure. The aim of this review is to compile the information on the link between low calcium intake and blood pressure. Calcium ...
Association between central-peripheral blood pressure amplification and structural and functional cardiac properties in children, adolescents, and adults: impact of the amplification parameter, recording system and calibration scheme
(Springer, 2021-02)
Introduction: Systolic blood pressure (SBPA) and pulse pressure amplification (PPA) were quantified using different methodological and calibration approaches to analyze (1) the association and agreement between different ...
INCIDENCE OF HYPERTENSION IN SCHOOLCHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: RELATIONSHIP WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS AND OBESITY
(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2015)
Blood-pressure–waveform monitoring without interruptions due to changes in arterial compliance: The use of the vibrational and volume-clamp methods
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
The arterial–blood-pressure (ABP) waveform can be monitored by the volume-clamp method. The photoplethysmography (PPG) signal is measured and clamped at maximum arterial compliance (PPGcmax) by controlling the external ...
Association between maternal education and blood pressure: mediation evidence through height components in the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017-04)
Background: Maternal education influences skeletal growth and offspring adult blood pressure (BP). Height components are negatively associated with BP in high-income countries. Aim: To evaluate the association between ...
Increases in peripheral systolic pressure levels and Z-score associate gradual aortic pressure increase and functional arterial impairment in children and adolescents
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018-12)
Background: Arterial changes associated with children and adolescents high blood pressure (HBP) states would vary depending on the arterial type, arterial indexes considered and/or on blood pressure (BP) levels. Aims: To ...
