Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in hypertensive pregnancies
… in hypertension in pregnancy, and the role of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Overviews of blood pressure measurement and hypertension in pregnancy are followed by discussion of ABPM in non-pregnant and pregnant individuals. A literature review of research in ABPM in pregnancy is …

AEROBIC FITNESS AND AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE IN ADOLESCENTS BORN WITH VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
AEROBIC FITNESS AND AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE IN ADOLESCENTS BORN PREMATURELY WITH VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT Thesis under the direction of Patricia A. Nixon, PhD., Associate Professor of Health and Exercise Science and Pediatrics Prematurity, very low birth weight (VLBW), and lower aerobic fitness are …

The relevance of performing 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure And pulse wave analysis in kidney transplant recipients
Hypertension guidelines recommend out of office blood pressure (BP) measurement especially 24- hour ambulatory measurement (ABPM), to diagnose and manage hypertension but this is not routinely performed in kidney transplant units. This study was to determine if 24-hour ABPM, compared with office BP …

Chronic kidney disease prevalence and ambulatory blood pressure profile in healthy HIV positive subjects pre and post anti-retroviral therapy
… a prevalence ranging from 13- 34%2. Nocturnal blood pressure (BP) is superior to daytime or office BP as a predictor of cardiovascular disease4. However, the relationship between circadian BP patterns, measured via ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring, and HIV has never been documented in …

Co-variation of blood pressure and mood in the natural environment
… interventions to coincide with periods when blood pressure is most elevated. The goals of the current study were (a) to determine if a laboratory relaxation procedure would be capable of discriminating those individuals who generally have elevated blood pressure from those who react with …

Prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy in peripheral arterial disease and its relation to blood pressure
… of intermittent claudication and ankle brachial pressure of index of ≤0.9 were recruited. All subjects underwent a full echocardiogram, office blood pressure and 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.<br/><br/>Results: Out of 350 subjects screened, left ventricular mass measurements were …

Do Social Control Motives Combine with Perceptions of Social Support to Predict Relationships between Interpersonal Stress and Blood Pressure in the Normal Environment?
… interpersonal stress was associated with higher ambulatory SBP. The dissipated group had the highest DBP, and was also more obese compared to the other groups. Results indicated that perceived social support attenuated the effect of interpersonal stress on SBP. Results did not support the notion …

Effect of Thyroid Hormones on AT1R MRNA Levels in HEK 293 Cells: Implications for Early-Onset Hypertension in Children Born of Preeclamptic Women
… Maternal preeclampsia is a prediction of higher ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in the exposed offspring. The mother's blood pressure affects the blood pressure of the fetus since the placenta mediates blood flow. Thyroid hormone can increase production of angiotensinogen, which is a part of the …

Exploring circadian blood pressure patterns
… of the importance of reducing mean levels of blood pressure (BP), we are less informed about the benefits of reducing other parameters of BP, specifically BP variability (BPV). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), which can be used to obtain estimates of BP over a 24h period, offers a …

Blood Pressure Variability and Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index in Predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events
Background: Increased blood pressure variability (BPV) and ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) are associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including stroke, transient ischaemic attack, acute coronary syndrome and cardiovascular (CV) death. However, the prognostic value of …

EXERCISE BLOOD PRESSURE IN ADOLESCENCE AND BLOOD PRESSURE FIVE YEARS LATER IN PERSONS BORN WITH VERY LOW BIRTH WEIGHT
… or minimize end-organ damage. Although resting blood pressure (BP) is found to be a good predictor of future resting BP, the addition of BP response to an exercise stressor may further enhance the ability to predict future levels of resting BP in both adolescents and young adults. PURPOSE: To …

The effects of post-term birth, hyperemesis gravidarum, and birth order on childhood metabolism and body composition
… concentrations and lipid profiles, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and inflammatory markers. Results: We found that i) post-term children had a 34% reduction in insulin sensitivity in comparison to controls born at term, and also displayed a number of early markers of the …

Brain derived neurotrophic factor and structural vascular disease in black Africans : the SABPA study
… whether BDNF is associated with changes in ambulatory blood pressure (BP) and whether a relationship between BDNF and structural endothelial dysfunction exists in black African male and female participants, determined by cross sectional wall area (CSWA) and albumin:creatinine ratio (ACR). …

Intervention en téléréadaptation et caractérisation de la dysautonomie cardiovasculaire dans la maladie de Parkinson
… (HRV, GSR, self-reported symptoms, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, 6-minute walk test (6MWT)) were evaluated. Results: CD was detected in 5 out of 16 screened participants. No significant differences were observed between the groups with (CD+) and without (CD-) dysautonomia, …

Comparing glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activity and their associations with cardiovascular measures in Africans and Caucasians : the SABPA study
… varying levels of activities with changes in blood pressure. Furthermore, GPx activity was shown to differ between Caucasians and African-Americans with Africans displaying significantly lower activity of GPx. An ethnic difference in GR activity is yet to be shown. A single study has indicated …

The influence of a single session of aerobic exercise on blood pressure during daily activities
… assessed the effects of acute exercise on blood pressure (BP) during a person's day-to-day life. It was hypothesized that there would be a reduction of systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) at 1, 3, 5, and 7 hours following exercise as compared to a control condition. Additionally, it …

Characterization of hypertension through multivariate analysis utilizing linear and nonlinear methods
Analysis of blood pressure by nonlinear methods is vastly underutilized in current research. As such, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure data from a small cohort of borderline hypertensive and normotensive subjects were analyzed using linear and nonlinear methods. Data were collected and provided by …
