However, cross-sectional studies can be confounded by physiological or lifestyle factors that may contribute in part to the lower aortic stiffness observed, and prospective interventions are often limited by short duration...

...David Curtis Introduction: A previous study of 200,000 exome-sequenced UK Biobank participants to test for association of rare coding variants with hypertension implicated two genes at exome-wide significance, DNMT3A and FES . A total of 42 genes had an uncorrected p value <0.001. These results...

...Helsi Rismiati; Hae-Young Lee Hypertension (HT) is an important risk factor for heart failure (HF). The prevalence of HT among the HF population is higher in Asia than in other regions around the world. In Asia, HT is the most common cause of HF after ischemic heart disease. Hypertensive HF (HHF...

...David Curtis Background: Previous analyses have identified common variants along with some specific genes and rare variants which are associated with risk of hypertension, but much remains to be discovered. Methods and Results: Exome-sequenced UK Biobank participants were phenotyped based on having...

...Yi Chen; Lei Lei; Ji-Guang Wang In the present review, we summarized the blood pressure (BP) measurement protocols of contemporary outcome trials in hypertension. In all these trials, clinic BP was used for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of hypertension. In most trials, BP was measured...

... with a magnetoplethysmography (MPG) sensor compared to two standard auscultatory and oscillatory BP monitors. Subjects and Methods: A total of 34 patients with uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP ≥150 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥95 mm Hg) were enrolled in the study. BP was measured by two conventional monitors and the new device...

...Chan Joo Lee; Sungha Park Despite improvements in hypertension awareness and treatment, the blood pressure (BP) control rate still remains at around 50%. One of the major determinants of low BP control results from therapeutic inertia of the physician and suboptimal compliance of the patients. Home...
