Morning blood pressure surge and diastolic dysfunction in patients with masked hypertension
In this study, we evaluated the association between morning blood pressure surge (MBPS) levels and diastolic function parameters in patients with masked hypertension (MH).
Methods
A total of 92 patients with diagnosis of MH were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into three groups according to their MBPS levels. Cardiac dimensions, left atrial volume and ejection fraction were determined by transthoracic echocardiography. A two-dimensional Doppler echocardiogram was performed to evaluate diastolic function parameters including transmitral E-wave and A-wave velocity, mitral annular E′ and A′ velocity, E wav...

Accuracy testing of a new optical device for noninvasive estimation of systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to intra-arterial measurements
The objective of this study was to compare the systolic (S) and diastolic (D) blood pressure (BP) estimations from a new optical device at the wrist with invasive measurements performed on patients scheduled for radial arterial catheterization in the ICU. Optical signals were automatically processed by a library of algorithms from Aktiia SA (OBPM – optical blood pressure monitoring algorithms).
Methods
A total of 31 participants from both sexes, aged 32–87 years, were enrolled in the study (NCT03837769). The measurement protocol consisted of the simultaneous recording of reflective photoplethysmographic signals (PPG...

Validity and inter-observers reliability of blood pressure measurements using mercury sphygmomanometer in the PERSIAN Guilan cohort study
Objective:
Accurate measuring of blood pressure is a vital step in both clinical and para-clinical settings. The aims of the present study were to evaluate the validity and inter-observer reliability of measured blood pressures by two trained observers and one expert supervisor in the PERSIAN Guilan cohort study (PGCS).
Participants and methods:
In a quasi-experimental study, two trained observers and one expert supervisor measured systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP) in 85 included participants. All measurements were done using Riester mercury sphygmomanometer as duplicate for each people.
Results:

Is the blood pressure of right arm measured with synchronous four-limb method is equal to that with single arm method?
Conclusion:
The SBP and DBP of right arm measured with synchronous four-limb method are 1.9/1.5 mmHg higher against the single arm method in treated hypertensives, and the increase extent of BP is not associated with the used drugs. (Source: Blood Pressure Monitoring)

Noninvasive optical coherence tomography imaging correlates with anatomic and physiologic end-organ changes in healthy normotensives with systemic blood pressure variability
In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between ambulatory BPV with subclinical organ damage and vascular stiffness parameters in normotensive healthy subjects.
Methods
A total of 100 healthy subjects over 18 years of age were included in this cross-sectional study. We divided the participants into two groups according to the median value of the SD of mean 24-h blood pressure (BP) (Group 1: SD of mean 24-h BP 10.15). BPs of these subjects were recorded over a 24-h period using ambulatory BP monitoring. Mobil-O-Graph device was used to estimate the augmentation index (AIx), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and am...

Acute effects of moderate-intensity and high-intensity exercise on hemodynamic and autonomic reactivity to the cold pressor test in young adults with excess body weight
Objective:
To investigate the effects of a single session of moderate-intensity and high-intensity interval exercise in cardiovascular reactivity to the cold pressor test in young adults with excess body weight.
Methods:
Twenty-two subjects with excess body weight (23 ± 2 years; 30.0 ± 3.4 kg·m−2) performed three sessions: (1) moderate-intensity exercise (30-minute cycling at 50%–60% of heart rate reserve); (2) high-intensity exercise (four series of 3-minute cycling at 80%–90% of heart rate reserve, interspersed by 2-minute recovery) and (3) control (i.e. 30-minute seated). Before and 30 minutes after the in...

Diurnal rhythm of blood pressure in patients with polycythemia vera
This study aimed to demonstrate how diurnal blood pressure rhythm is affected in polycythemia vera patients.
Methods
Fifty (50) patients (33 men; mean age 48 ± 15 years) with a diagnosis of polycythemia vera and 51 age and sex-matched healthy subjects for the control group were prospectively evaluated. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were evaluated by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) as average 24-hour, daytime and nighttime measures.
Results
Average 24-hour SBP and DBP, daytime SBP and DBP were similar in both groups. However, nighttime SBP and DBP were significan...

Blood pressure monitoring in sleep: time to wake up
Hypertension is a highly common condition with well-established adverse consequences. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring has repeatedly been shown to better predict cardiovascular outcomes and mortality, compared to single office visit blood pressure. Non-dipping of sleep-time blood pressure is an independent marker for increased cardiovascular risk. We review blood pressure variability and the challenges of blood pressure monitoring during sleep. Although pathological sleep such as obstructive sleep apnea has been associated with non-dipping of sleep-time blood pressure, blood pressure is not routinely measured during s...
