Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or
structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the …

J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). 2012; 14: 372–382.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. The
prevalence of hypertension in children and adolescents is increasing, especially in obese …

Hypertension is associated with increased left ventricular mass (LVM) and carotid intima‐
media thickness (cIMT), which predict cardiovascular (CV) events in adults. Whether target …

Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) provides valuable information for cardiovascular risk
assessment. The present cuff-based devices are intrusive for longterm BP monitoring …

We reported previously that normotensive Chinese had higher nighttime diastolic blood
pressure compared with non-Chinese. We, therefore, studied the prevalence and …

Background Compared with dippers, hypertensive individuals with a nondipping nocturnal
blood pressure (BP) profile have more target organ damage and a worse cardiovascular …

A flexible, patch-type strain sensor is described for continuous monitoring of pulse waves.
The proposed sensor exploits the piezo-resistivity of the conductive polymer, polyaniline …

Human pulse signals contain important and useful physiological information for the auxiliary
diagnosis of cardiovascular disease. Here, a wearable pulse sensor based on piezo …

Aims Endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness are hallmarks of hypertension, and major
risk factors for cardiovascular disease. BPH/2J (Schlager) mice are a genetic model of …

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of 5 mg melatonin before sleep in patients
with coronary artery disease (CAD) and with an abnormal circadian pattern of blood …
