Filter by:This four-arm randomized controlled trial was designed to study the effects of magnesium supplements (total daily dose: 450 mg elemental magnesium) on vascular stiffness in healthy overweight and slightly obese men and women. In addition, the effects of magnesium supplements on blood pressure and gut microbiota will be evaluated. Three groups will receive magnesium supplements (magnesium oxide, magnesium citrate or magnesium sulphate) and one group will receive a placebo.
This project aims to verify the chronic effect of Mat Pilates exercise on climacteric symptoms, ambulatory blood pressure responses, lipid and glucose profile and pro and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant markers in postmenopausal normotensive and hypertensive women. All volunteers received the same intervention.
In this clinical study the investigators will compare blood pressure measurements obtained using the non-invasive, continuous and wireless Biobeat monitoring device (a wrist watch or a patch configuration) to an invasive arterial line (radial or femoral) in 30 patients immediately after cardiac surgery, at the intensive care unit.
Hypertension is common side effect of Cushing Syndrome (CS): in patients with endogenous CS and those treated with glucocorticosteroids (GCs). The impact of the intravenous GCs therapy on blood pressure (BP) remains unclear. According to the European Group On Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO), patients with active, severely symptomatic and sight-threatening Graves' orbitopathy (GO) should be treated with high dose intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) pulses. There are, however, reports of fatal side effects that may be associated with this therapy (e.g.: pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, severe cerebrovascular events, acute liver damage and sudden death). For this reason, the cumulative dose of IVMP should not exceed 8 g within each treatment course, and pulses should not be given on consecutive or alternate days, except for the case of dysthyroid optic neuropathy. A consensus on the monitoring of patients during and after IVMP pulse administration is not yet established. What is more, there is lack of paper regarding pattern of blood pressure at various time points during and after ivGCs administration. Thus, the investigators decided to evaluate acute changes of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a marker of hemodynamic stress and to monitor BP before, during and after IVMP pulse administration. All of patients were treated routinely according to EUGOGO recommendations with standard doses of methylprednisolone with standard recommended schedule. Inclusion criterion for the therapy was according to EUGOGO guidelines active, moderate-to-severe and active GO (12 pulses of IVMP 6x0.5g followed by 6x0.25g every week).
The clinical protocol of the trial: 1. Objective of the trial: To assess the accuracy of device. 2. Test methods and procedures: Perform comparation test on seated position by two devices at the same time. 3. DUT: Transtek Blood Pressure Monitor, Model TMB-1591-A-002, with Cuff (sizes, cm) 15-21, 20-26, 25-34, 25-34(L), 32-43, 32-43(L), 40-55. 4. Reference device: Baumanometer Desk Mercury Sphygmomanometer. 5. Study endpoints: Comply with ANSI/AAMI ISO 81060-2:2013 standard. 6. Statistical methodology used: Standard deviation, Mean error.
The investigator's objective is to validate the novel automated blood pressure device against the requirements set forth in the AAMI_ISO 81060-2:2010 standard in voluntarily consented study participants.
The new American Heart Association (AHA) blood pressure guidelines are expected to raise the prevalence of high blood pressure to ~46% in the United States. One recommendation for lowering blood pressure is aerobic exercise, which produces a period of lowered blood pressure (post-exercise hypotension; PEH) that lasts up to 24 hours. It is believed that PEH may be responsible for the observations of lowered blood pressure following initiation of exercise. However, most Americans eat too much salt, which expands plasma volume and may prevent PEH, rending aerobic exercise ineffective in improving blood pressure status.
Americans eat more salt than is recommended by the American Heart Association. This is important because consuming a high-salt diet is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, like strokes and heart attacks. In fact, consuming one high-salt meal temporarily reduces blood vessel function and it is not uncommon for Americans to consume high-salt meals. Therefore, our laboratory is interested in determining if a single high-salt meal affects 1) brain blood vessel function at rest and 2) blood pressure responses during exercise.
24 hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring should be the first choice for diagnosis and treatment of hypertension according to European Societyof Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guideline on ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Finally, we should promote the clinical application of 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring to greatly improve the management level of hypertension in China and effectively reduce the risk caused by hypertension in the population. Information of hypertensive patients with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was prospectively registered nationwide,and then to investigate whether there was difference in cardiovascular prognosis according to the control of ABP.
The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) guidelines have not made any specific recommendations regarding the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, a dietary pattern that emphasizes fruits and vegetables, low-fat or non-fat dairy, limiting saturated fat intake and usually also recommends limiting sodium intake. To update the recommendations, the Diabetes and Nutrition Study Group (DNSG) of the EASD commissioned an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to summarize the available evidence from recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies and randomized and non-randomized controlled trials of the relationship between the DASH dietary pattern and cardiometabolic risk.
