There is growing evidence that diversely defined blood pressure variability (BPV) is an independent predictor of hypertensive target organ damage (TOD) and cardiovascular events. Several mechanisms have been speculated to underlie episodes of increased BPV, including the impairment of autonomic or hormonal regulation, renal dysfunction, and increased arterial stiffness. Within-home BPV, defined as differences in BP values obtained on a single occasion at home, could have prognostic significance for hypertensive TOD. It is typically thought that BP values are decreased with repeated measurements on a single occasion at home, but in the present subanalysis of 4,149 J-HOP (Japan Morning Surge-Home Blood Pressure) study patients, approximately 20% of the patients' home BP values were increased or unchanged by repeated measurements on a single occasion. In addition, those patients were likely to have hypertensive TOD. Thus, home BP measurement should be taken twice or more to detect the increase trend in home BP, which has been defined as within-home BPV.

Introduction: Acute hemorrhage decreases blood pressure (BP) and sometimes causes hypovolemic shock. At this time, peripheral arteries are supposed to contract and increase peripheral vascular resistance to raise BP…
INTRODUCTION: Dynamical systems theory, probability, and entropy were the substrate for the development of the diagnostic and predictive methodology of adult heart dynamics. OBJECTIVE: To apply a previously developed…
Molecular diagnostic (MDx) techniques have revolutionized the field of clinical diagnostics, providing several advantages over traditional microbial culture methods. The ability to perform multiplex molecular panel…
Background and Aims: This study investigated the possible correlation between elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) levels and early vascular aging biomarkers in healthy children and adolescents. Methods: Twenty-seven…
Background: Iron accumulation leads to increased susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases in thalassemia major (TM) patients. Depressed heart rate variability (HRV) and development of arrhythmia are among the…
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone forming tumor of the growing skeleton that is most often seen in young men. It represents by pain and radiologic appearance of a nidus surrounded by osteosclerosis that occurs mostly in…
Background: /μL on two different examinations within a month of each other and/or a 20% or higher percentage of eosinophils in a bone marrow section, associated with organ damage. Rarely, neurological manifestations may…
The effects of β-blockers on arterial properties are not well investigated. In our recent study, we compared the effects of the two β-blockers celiprolol and bisoprolol on blood pressure, baroreflex sensitivity (BRS)…
Introduction: Aortic stiffness, assessed through carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Measurements of PWV are based on the proper…
Introduction: The augmentation index (AIx) or central systolic blood pressure (SBP), measured by radial applanation tonometry, has been reported to be independently associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in…
