Hypertension is the predominant modifiable cardiovascular risk factor. This cohort study assessed association of with percentage time that ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) within target range (PTTR) proposed by 2024 European Society Cardiology (ESC) guidelines for (BP) management. In a person-level meta-analysis 14 230 individuals enrolled in population cohorts, systolic and diastolic ABPs were combined to assess 24-h, daytime, nighttime PTTR thresholds non-elevated ABP set at <115/65,...
Average real variability (ARV) is a recently proposed index for short-term blood pressure (BP) variability. We aimed to determine the minimum number of BP readings required compute ARV without loss prognostic information. was calculated from discovery dataset that included 24-hour ambulatory measurements 1,254 residents (mean age = 56.6 years; 43.5% women) Copenhagen, Denmark. Concordance between full (≥80 readings) and randomly reduced recordings examined, as accuracy. A test 5,353 subjects...
The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Trial provides critical data on the impact of a specific diet pattern (low in salt, fat, and processed foods high fruit vegetables) blood pressure (BP). effect compliance with DASH-type BP general population sample is less well defined. We studied associations between DASH style BP.We used cross-sectional from study men women aged 47-73 years (n = 2,047). Participants completed physical examination that included 3 standardized clinical...
Background: Stroke patients are at increased risk of falls and fractures. The aim this study was to determine the rate, predictors consequences within 2 years after stroke in a prospective population-based North Dublin, Ireland. Design: Prospective cohort study. Subjects: 567 adults aged >18 from Dublin Population Study. Methods: Participants were enrolled an Irish urban population 294,592 individuals, according recommended criteria. Patients followed for years. Outcome measures included...
Background: ambulatory blood pressure (ABPM) appears to be a more accurate predictor of cardiovascular outcome than (BP) measured in the clinic setting younger adults. Objectives: purpose this study was determine if ABPM predicted total and mortality independently BP other risk factors those aged 65 years over. Methods: one thousand hundred forty-four individuals over referred single had 24-h ABP measurement at baseline off treatment. There were 385 deaths (of which 246 cardiovascular)...
In the North Dublin Population Stroke Study, we investigated risk of recurrent stroke within 14-day time window recommended for endarterectomy.In a population-based prospective cohort study, all ischemic patients were identified over 1 year and categorized into those with (CS-positive) without (CS-negative) ipsilateral carotid stenosis (CS) (≥50% lumen narrowing). Nonprocedural recurrence was determined at 72 hours 7 14 days.Of 365 imaging, 51 excluded due to posterior circulation or...
The surgical specimens from all evacuated spontaneous intracerebral and intracerebellar hemorrhages at the Toronto General Hospital 1976 to 1981 were reviewed. Cases resulting trauma or pre-operatively diagnosed aneurysms arteriovenous malformations excluded, leaving 84 cases in which etiology was unknown. Seventy-five of hemorrhages, while 6 3 intraventricular. Brain tissue received with blood clot 54 (64%). From this tissue, an anatomic diagnosis made 37 cases; 14, specific hemorrhage...
The creation of a calibrated iliofemoral arteriovenous fistula (IAVF) increases exercise capacity in patients with severe COPD. In retrospective analysis 24 subjects end-stage COPD and hypertension IAVF decreased systolic office blood pressure (BP) significantly at 12 months by an average -12.8 mmHg. We assessed the effect on BP echocardiographic changes therapy-resistant hypertensive patients. 8 was created using ROX Anastomotic Coupler System®. study evaluated safety efficacy. Ambulatory...
BACKGROUND : Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is the preferred method for assessing thyroid nodules malignancy. Concern remains about rate of false negative results. The primary aim this study to investigate malignancy initially classified as benign (Thy 2).We retrospectively examined 658 in 653 (429 female) patients between January 2013 December 2017. All FNA biopsies (FNABs) were performed under ultrasound (US) guidance by a radiologist with expertise pathology. Nodules cytologically...
Objective: 24-hour blood pressure variability (BPV) is independently related to cardiovascular outcomes, but conflicting evidence available on the relative prognostic importance of systolic and diastolic BPV. Aim this study was verify hypothesis that association over 24 hours with mortality in untreated subjects affected by age. Design method: ambulatory monitoring obtained 10,500 individuals assessed for hypertension frame Dublin Outcome Study (age 54.4 ± 14.5 years, 47% males) followed up...

Objective: 24-hour blood pressure (BP) variability (V) has been repeatedly shown to be associated with cardiovascular outcomes but in different studies this association was stronger for either systolic (S) or diastolic (D)BPV. Whether these discrepancies are age related remains an unresolved issue. Aim of analysis separately assess the SBPV and DBPV (CV) mortality strata. Design method: Dublin Outcome Study included untreated subjects assessed hypertension followed on average 5.8 years....
Abstract Background Early supported discharge (ESD) facilitates people with a stroke to be discharged from the hospital environment earlier than conventional care continue their rehabilitation within home multi-disciplinary team. Known benefits of ESD Randomised Controlled Trials conducted include reducing length stay, long term dependency, and cost savings. There is limited qualitative evidence available on ESD. This systematic review synthesis explored experiences those involved in...
