Relationship between salt reduction readiness and salt intake in hypertensive patients: a single nonspecialized hypertension clinic case study
This is the first report about the association of readiness for salt reduction with daily salt intake or the salt check sheet score in hypertensive patients at a nonspecialized hypertension clinic. We investigated whether salt reduction readiness as evaluated based on the transtheoretical model (TTM) is associated with estimated daily salt intake or the salt check sheet score. The TTM allows evaluators to easily assess a subject’s level of readiness for health-related according to five stages. There was no significant relationship between the TTM stages and estimated daily salt intake. A significant correlation was found...

The relationship between nondipper hypertension and triglyceride glucose index
This study aimed to compare the TyG index between normotensive, nondipper, and dipper hypertensive patients. A total of 1037 patients grouped according to the results of ambulatory BP monitoring were included, with group 1 including dipper hypertensive (n = 368), group 2 including nondipper hypertensive (n = 496), and group 3 including normotensive control (n = 173) patients. In both the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses, TyG index [odds ratio (OR), 4.656; 95% confidence interval (CI), 3.014–7.193; P (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

The relationship of left ventricular outflow tract presystolic wave and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements
Objective Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) presystolic wave is a novel marker for several cardiac conditions. It is shown to be related to several cardiac conditions. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between LVOT presystolic wave and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurements. Methods A total of 194 patients who came to the cardiology outpatient clinic were prospectively enrolled in the study. After demographic and clinical inquiry, blood biochemistry and hemogram tests were performed. Each patient was evaluated with echocardiography and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure measurement. T...

Sex-related short-term blood pressure variability differences in kidney transplant recipients
Conclusion In conclusion, 24-h systolic and diastolic BPV parameters did not differ between male and female KTRs, but short-term BPV over the respective day- and nighttime periods showed different trends in men and women. Further studies are needed to examine possible differences in long-term BPV in KTRs. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Sleep characteristics associated with nocturnal blood pressure nondipping in healthy individuals: a systematic review
Conclusion While there is no evidence-based approach for the treatment of nocturnal BP nondipping, it seems promising that addressing one’s sleep health may be an important starting point to reduce the prevalence of BP nondipping and perhaps the progression to cardiovascular disease.

Blood glucose responses are associated with prolonged sitting-induced changes in arterial stiffness: a randomized crossover trial
Conclusion Vascular dysfunction occurred for the control but not the exercise condition, suggesting interrupting prolonged sitting with regular, short bouts of exercise may be an effective strategy to protect vascular health. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Sex difference in blood pressure response to orthostatic stress: effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
Objective We investigated sex differences in blood pressure (BP) response to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) during orthostatic stress (ORT). Methods Seventeen healthy young adults (males = 9; females = 8) underwent TENS or SHAM stimulus applied in the cervicothoracic region for 30 min in the supine position followed by 10 min in the orthostatic position. Electrocardiogram and BP were continuously recorded at rest and during ORT. Stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO) and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were calculated from the BP signal. Results Orthostatic challenge decreased BP si...

The relation between average 1-year home blood pressure and the change in pro-BNP and left ventricle mass index
Conclusion The present study showed that average 1-year home blood pressure may have a significant association with a decrease in LVMI and pro-BNP. Our study appears to be the first to evaluate the association between average 1-year home blood pressure and the change in LVMI and pro-BNP. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Self-reported sleep-disordered breathing and insomnia in association with hypertension: a community-based study in Eastern China
Objective We aimed to explore the associations of self-reported sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) and insomnia with hypertension based on a community-based survey among adults in Suzhou, Eastern China. Methods The Suzhou Food Consumption and Health Survey was conducted from 2018 to 2019. A multistage random sampling method was used to recruit potential participants. Associations of SDB and insomnia with hypertension were examined by multivariable logistic regression models with adjustment for covariates. In addition, sensitivity analysis was used to reinforce our findings. Results A total of 2728 participa...
