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 ...
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 ...

Effect of a salt-reduction strategy on blood pressure and acceptability among customers of a food concessionaire in Lima, Peru.
(Wiley, 2018)
AIM: Limited information exists regarding the implementation of salt reduction strategies on collective food services, such as restaurants and food concessionaires. The present study aimed to assess the effect of a salt ...
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 ...
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 ...
Comparison of indirect arterial blood pressure values measured in five anatomical sites in awake dogsComparación de valores de presión arterial indirecta medida en cinco puntos anatómicos en caninos despiertos
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria, 2018)
Effect of low-sodium salt substitutes on blood pressure, detected hypertension, stroke and mortality.
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2019)
OBJECTIVE: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to assess the efficacy of low-sodium salt substitutes (LSSS) as a potential intervention to reduce cardiovascular (CV) diseases. METHODS: Five engines 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 ...
