Filter by:The first study was a randomized crossover trial that compared the acute effects of High Speed Resistance Exercise (HSRE) and Traditional Resistance Exercise (TRE) on blood pressure parameters in a sample of frail older adults. Participants performed three experimental sessions (i.e., HSRE, TRE, and a control session [CS]) in a random order and separated from one another by seven days (standard deviation [±] 1 day). Food consumption was maintained constant during 48 h prior to the exercise session and a standard breakfast was offered 60-90 min before the beginning of the experimental sessions. The pharmacological therapy was kept constant during the whole study, and participants took their anti-hypertensive medication at the same time in all experimental days as prescribed by their physician.
The study proposes to evaluate the feasibility of a preconception intervention comprising two proven interventions for reducing blood pressure; Beetroot juice; a source of dietary nitrate which reduces BP by 8/4mmHg after 4 weeks(6); Personalised resistance and endurance exercise programme (as per CMO recommendations) which reduces BP by ~10/5mm Hg over 8-12 weeks (7).
Hypertension prevalence among Malaysian adults is high at around 30% and is also reported to be the highest risk factor for mortality in Malaysia. Home Blood Pressure Monitoring (HBPM) has been proven to improve blood pressure levels for at least twelve months when used in conjuction with co-inventions such as education interventions or support from health care professionals. Social media has been described as having a favourable role in health interventions due to its popularity with vast numbers of users particularly the younger adults, its advantages mainly in health communication with patients, plus its promising impact on behavioural change. It has been reported that around 15% of those with hypertension are young adults; aged between 18-39 years. Therefore, this may be a good start to plan an intervention program on hypertension using the concept of short videos as popularised by social media; particularly on home blood pressure monitoring. As students are future doctors and can act as advocate in sharing important healthcare knowledge to family members and friends, they are the best candidate to be chosen as subjects of this research.
Some observational studies demonstrated that hypotension was associated with post-operative morbidity. During neuroradiological procedures, cerebral perfusion pressure should be cautiously maintained and hypertension should also be avoided. So, a precise arterial pressure measurement is needed during this procedures. A continuous monitoring of arterial pressure needed the placement of an arterial catheter in radial artery. The placement of this catheter might be long, difficult and incompatible with emergency neuroradiological procedure (such as thrombectomy). Then, this invasive technique is associated with several minor and major side effects such as: pain, infection, thrombosis, hematoma. The Clearsight®, commercialized by Edwards Life Science Company®, is a non invasive device which mesure continuously arterial pressure with Volume-Clamp method. In operating room, some studies found a good accuracy between Clearsight® and other invasive monitoring system. There is no description of the use of Clearsight® during neuroradiological procedures. The investigators hypothesized that Clearsight® measurement of arterial pressure are concordant with arterial pressure measure with the placement of an arterial catheter. The investigators also plan to evaluate accuracy of intermittent non invasive pressure measurement with traditional cuff.
The purpose of this research study is to learn about different techniques that can be used to increase self-reflection, reduce stress, manage high blood pressure in Black women.
The purpose of this trial is to characterize the effects of 2 oral doses (over 8 weeks total) of CVL-231 on ambulatory blood pressure and heart rate in patients with stable schizophrenia.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of acupressure applied before CA procedure on systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulse and pain intensity parameters after CA. Design: The study is a randomized controlled trial. Setting: The study occurred at Cardiology Service (CS) of a Training and Research Hospital in Turkey. Participants: One hundred patients whomet the research criteria.
The Boppli device was designed to provide continuous non-invasive blood pressure (cNIBP) monitoring for infants, including neonates, in intensive care settings by detecting systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure values comparable to that of an invasive arterial line (IAL) within published accuracy criteria. The device consists of an array of capacitive sensors contained in a soft, flexible, biocompatible band. It applies proprietary algorithms to capacitance detections to generate accurate systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial blood pressure and waveform data, then communicates the data to an external device via Bluetooth Low Energy for storage and display. It may be applied to the patient's arm or foot on either side of the body, which is advantageous for infants whose bodies provide limited surface area for medical devices or equipment. It does not require high skin pressure when correctly placed. The device is intended for single use of up to 72 hours and is discarded following use.
The study is being conducted to evaluate the effect of VI-0521 (Qsymia®) on blood pressure as measured by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, compared to both placebo and an active control (phentermine 30 mg).
This study is a cross sectional study
