There are three sources of error in the indirect measurement of blood pressure:(1) observer
bias,(2) faulty equipment, and (3) failure to standardize the techniques of measurement. This …

During recent decades the importance of perceiving isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) in
cardiovascular pathophysiology has been changed from a benign condition to the major …

Background and Purpose—Ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) and pulse pressure
(PP) are indexes of arterial stiffness and can be computed from 24-hour blood pressure …

Few issues in current research on high blood pressure have stimulated greater interest than
the so-called whitecoat hypertension. The reason is sound: it is hoped that identification of …

There has been recent interest in the possibility that resistance vessel structural adaptation
in hypertension may be more closely related to pulse pressure than to other blood pressure …

Background The transient blood pressure (BP) rise during clinical visits is usually referred to
as white-coat effect (WCE). The aim of the present study was to investigate factors that may …

16 Hypertension January 2017 diastolic ABP values achieved during treatment in the 2 arms
of the SPRINT. Indeed, ABP is the only BP measurement in SPRINT that was also obtained …

Objectives The clinical significance of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) in the young is still
controversial. Aim of the present study was to investigate whether prognosis of ISH in young …

Objective We assessed how different definitions of the awake and asleep periods and use of
various blood pressure (BP) indices affect the extent of the nocturnal BP dip, the prevalence …

Clinic blood pressure (BP) is usually higher than daytime ambulatory BP in hypertensive
patients, but some recent studies have challenged this view, suggesting that this relationship …
