The present paper provides an update of previous recommendations on Home Blood Pressure Monitoring from the European Society Hypertension (ESH) Working Group and Cardiovascular Variability sequentially published in years 2000, 2008 2010. This has taken into account new evidence this field, including a recent statement by American Heart association, as well technological developments, which have occurred over past 20 years. document been developed same ESH with inputs international team...
Participant-level meta-analyses assessed the age-specific relevance of office blood pressure to cardiovascular complications, but this information is lacking for out-of-office pressure. At baseline, daytime ambulatory (n=12 624) or home (n=5297) were measured in 17 921 participants (51.3% women; mean age, 54.2 years) from population cohorts. Subsequently, mortality and events recorded. Using multivariable Cox regression, floating absolute risk was computed across 4 age bands (≤60, 61–70,...
Out-of-office blood pressure evaluation assessed using ambulatory (ABP) or home (HBP) monitoring is currently recommended for hypertension management. We evaluated the frequency and determinants of diagnostic disagreement between ABP HBP measurements.Cross-sectional data from 1971 participants (mean age 53.8 ± 11.4 years, 52.6% men, 32% treated) Greece, Finland United Kingdom were analyzed. The daytime was regarded as certain when (i) two methods diagnosed a different phenotype, (ii)...
This study aimed to evaluate the reproducibility of office (OBP), ambulatory (ABP), and home blood pressure (HBP) measurements in children adolescents, their implications diagnosing hypertension clinical practice pediatric research. Apparently healthy adolescents referred for suspected were included. Measurements 2-visit OBP, 7-day HBP, 24-hour ABP performed twice, 1 6 months apart. Reproducibility was quantified using SD differences between repeated measurements. The sample size trials...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a typical complication in patients with lung cancer. Khorana score an established tool for thromboembolic risk stratification of ambulatory cancer undergoing outpatient chemotherapy. The aim this study was to evaluate the predictive value VTE and death adenocarcinoma during first-line or adjuvant Medical records 130 receiving chemotherapy were retrospectively studied time period June 2013 May 2015. occurred 13 (10.0%) patients. Thromboembolic events...
Objective: The current general population study explored the prognostic value of home blood pressure (HBP) average and variability (BPV) versus office measurements (OBP). Methods: In 1997, 665 adults Didima, Argolida, Greece were evaluated with OBP (two visits, six readings) HBP (3 days, 12 measurements. Total mortality cardiovascular morbidity (CVD) assessed after 19.0 ± 1.4 years. BPV was quantified by using SD coefficient variation. Results: During follow-up, 216 deaths (124...
Objective To assess the accuracy of professional oscillometric blood pressure (BP) monitor Microlife WatchBP Office in adults and children according to American National Standards Institute/Association for Advancement Medical Instrumentation/International Organization Standardization (ANSI/AAMI/ISO) 81060-2:2013 standard. Methods Adults (aged 3–12 years) were recruited fulfil age, sex, BP cuff distribution criteria ANSI/AAMI/ISO standard using same-arm sequential measurement method. Three...
Objectives: To compare the association of home (HBP), ambulatory (ABP) and office blood pressure (OBP) measurements with preclinical organ damage in young individuals. Methods: Individuals referred for elevated healthy volunteers aged 6–25 years were evaluated OBP (2–3 visits), 7-day HBP 24-h ABP monitoring. Organ was assessed by echocardiographic left ventricular mass index (LVMI), carotid ultrasonography [intima--media thickness (IMT)] pulse wave velocity (PWV) using piezo-electronic or...
This study assessed the diagnostic accuracy of a novel 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitor (Microlife WatchBP O3 Afib) with implemented algorithm for automated atrial fibrillation (AF) detection during each ABP measurement. One hundred subjects (mean age 70.6±8.2 [SD] years; men 53%; hypertensives 85%; 17 permanent AF; 4 paroxysmal and 79 non-AF) had simultaneous monitoring Holter monitoring. Among total 6410 valid readings, 1091 (17%) were taken in ECG AF rhythm. In...
Masked hypertension (MH) is defined as normal office blood pressure (OBP) and elevated ambulatory (ABP) or home (HBP). This study assessed MH identified by each of these two methods.A retrospective analysis cross-sectional data in treated untreated adults from Greece, Finland UK who had OBP, HBP 24-h ABP measurements was performed. Dual OBP ABP, isolated HBP.Of 1971 participants analyzed, 445 (23%) on and/or (age 57.1 ± 10.8 years, men 55%, 49%). Among with any MH, 215 dual (48%), 132 (30%)...
Home blood pressure (HBP) monitoring has become a primary method for hypertension diagnosis and management. This analysis aimed to investigate the optimal minimum schedule HBP monitoring.A retrospective of cross-sectional data was performed, which involved 24-h ambulatory (ABP) in adults performed within context clinical studies Finland, Greece UK. Participants with six seven days at least 12 readings were included. The stability assessed by evaluating average value an increasing number its...
Greece was recently reclassified from low- to medium-risk country in terms of cardiovascular disease, with 27% deaths attributed hypercholesterolemia. EMENO nationwide survey (2013-2016) assessed the epidemiology dyslipidemia general population Greece.A random sample adults drawn by multistage stratified sampling based on 2011 census. Standardized questionnaires and blood tests for total cholesterol (TC), low-density (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), triglycerides were used....
