Hypertension in psoriasis patients: based on office and ambulatory blood pressure measurement
Conclusion
Psoriasis is associated with a high rate of HTN. Masked HTN constitutes nearly one-third of hypertensive patients. ABPM increases the accuracy of HTN detection in psoriatic patients. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Effects of dapagliflozin on blood pressure variability in patients with prediabetes and prehypertension without pharmacological treatment: a randomized trial
Conclusions
The administration of 10 mg dapagliflozin once daily for 90 days in patients with prediabetes and prehypertension decreased BPV by reducing 24-h and nighttime SBP, and increasing the dipper circadian BP pattern. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Ambulatory blood pressure variability and combined exercise training: comparison between hypertensive and normotensive postmenopausal women
Aim
The aim of the study was to verify the effects of moderate combined aerobic and resistance exercises training in ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) and its variability in hypertensive and normotensive postmenopausal women.
Methods
Twenty-six participants were divided into two groups: hypertensive (HT = 13) and normotensive (NT = 13). They performed 30 sessions of combined exercises (aerobic and resistance exercises at same session) over 10 weeks. We evaluated: resting BP and 24-h ABPM with systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean blood pressure (MBP), and heart rate (HR). T...

Does the mean 24-h pulse rate from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring reflect the mean 24-h ventricular rate from Holter electrocardiogram in atrial fibrillation patients?
Conclusion
The mean 24-h pulse rate should not be used to represent the true ventricular rate for all atrial fibrillation patients. However, when lower the SD-pulse rate, the mVR-mPR becomes smaller. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Cardiac baroreflex function and vascular reactivity recovery after aerobic exercise in patients with early cirrhosis
Objective
To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise on the cardiac baroreflex function and vascular reactivity in patients with cirrhosis.
Methods
Thirteen patients with cirrhosis were submitted to exercise and control intervention. At baseline and at 30 and 60 min following intervention, we evaluated cardiac baroreflex sensitivity (cBRS) and the baroreflex effectiveness index (BEI) using sequence technique. Vascular reactivity was assessed inducing reactive hyperemia before and 60 min after intervention.
Results
At baseline, there was no difference (P interaction = 0.848) between exercise (f...

Blood pressure management in emergency department patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
Conclusion
Our study suggests that blood pressure monitoring is related to the frequency of blood pressure interventions and achievement of adequate blood pressure control in patients with sICH. There is significant variability in EDs’ achievement of the recommended close blood pressure monitoring and management in patients with sICH. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Mean arterial pressure and arterial stiffness in Japanese population: a secondary analysis based on a cross-sectional study
Previous researches demonstrate that mean arterial pressure (MAP) is associated with major cardiovascular events, but there are few research on the correlation between MAP and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (BaPWV). Thus, the present study is designated to examine the association between MAP and BaPWV. Our study is a cross-sectional study in Japanese. They participated in a medical check-up program which included BaPWV and standardized questionnaires. The main measurements include systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, BaPWV, ankle-brachial index (ABI), fatty liver diagnosed by ultrasonography, etc. It need...

Preliminary assessment of video-based blood pressure measurement according to ANSI/AAMI/ISO81060-2:2013 guideline accuracy criteria: Anura smartphone app with transdermal optimal imaging technology
Conclusions
Anura meets ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2013 standard with respect to BP measurement accuracy. As the ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2013 standard has not been developed for cuffless devices, further research assessing additional accuracy issues specific to such devices is needed.
