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 ...
Upward Shift and Steepening of the Blood Pressure Response to Exercise in Hypertensive Subjects at High Altitude
(Wiley, 2018)
BACKGROUND: Acute exposure to high-altitude hypobaric hypoxia induces a blood pressure rise in hypertensive humans, both at rest and during exercise. It is unclear whether this phenomenon reflects specific blood pressure ...
Home Blood Pressure Management Intervention in Low- to Middle-Income Countries: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Study
(JMIR Publications, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Control of hypertension in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is poor, often less than 10%. A strong body of evidence demonstrates that home blood pressure management lowers blood pressure, and recent ...
Ambulatory blood pressure in untreated and treated hypertensive patients at high altitude: the High Altitude Cardiovascular Research-Andes study
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2015)
UNLABELLED: Blood pressure increases during acute exposure to high altitude in healthy humans. However, little is known on altitude effects in hypertensive subjects or on the treatment efficacy in this condition. Objectives ...

Lack of association between chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke and markers of right ventricular pressure overload at high altitude
(Elsevier, 2014)
BACKGROUND: Chronic exposure to biomass fuel smoke has been implicated in the development of pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular pressure/volume overload through activation of inflammation, increase in vascular ...
Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479 population-based measurement studies with 19.1 million participants
(Elsevier, 2017)
Background: Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, ...
Increased levels of serum γ-glutamyltransferase and uric acid on metabolic, hepatic and kidney parameters in subjects at high altitudes
(De Gruyter, 2014)
Background: Currently there are no studies on γ-glutamyltransferase (γGT) levels at high altitude or on the relationship between γGT, uric acid and several dysfunctions. The aim of the study was to determine the association ...
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. ...
