During the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine has emerged worldwide as an indispensable resource to improve surveillance of patients, curb spread disease, facilitate timely identification and management ill people, but, most importantly, guarantee continuity care frail patients with multiple chronic diseases. Although during thrived, its adoption moved forward in many countries, important gaps still remain. Major issues be addressed enable large scale implementation include: (1) establishing...
This Clinical Update summarizes the main approaches to out-of-office blood pressure monitoring—home monitoring and ambulatory benefits challenges of each in management hypertension.
Background: Clinical guidelines recommend monitoring of blood pressure at home using an automatic device for the management hypertension. Devices are not often calibrated against direct measures, leaving health care providers and patients with less reliable information than is possible current technology. Rigorous assessments medical devices necessary establishing clinical utility. Objective: The purpose our study was 2-fold: (1) to assess validity perform iterative calibration indirect...
Introduction Increasing levels of obesity worldwide have led to a rise in the prevalence obesity-related complications including cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidaemia. Healthcare providers believe that overweight obese cardiac surgery patients are more likely experience adverse postoperative outcomes. The body mass index (BMI) is primary measure clinical practice, without accounting for patient’s level cardiopulmonary fitness or muscle mass. objective...

It is generally accepted that induction of iNOS, but not eNOS, in the heart renders it less susceptible to detrimental effects an ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) challenge. However, there some evidence indicate eNOS (adenosine receptor agonist) can also provide protection against I/R-induced myocardial dysfunction and injury. We have recently shown pretreatment with erythropoietin (EPO) ameliorate inflammation associated I/R challenge given 24 hrs later. The aim present study was determine...
