Blood Pressure Self-Measurement (BPSM) has gained interest lately and its practice can contribute to the diagnosis follow-up of arterial hypertension. In Brazil, due difficulties in carrying out Home Monitoring (HBPM) unavailability Ambulatory (ABPM) most facilities, AMPA, which differs from aforementioned methods, widespread use our country. Therefore, it seems important discuss this method, is largely used poorly studied. paper, we will describe methods for measuring blood pressure,...
In Brief PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on cardiac autonomic modulation and peripheral nerve sympathetic activity in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS: Functional capacity, low-frequency (LF) high-frequency (HF) components rate variability, inferred by microneurography, quality life were determined 27 CHF who had been sequentially allocated to 1 2 groups: (1) control group (with no intervention) (2) IMT group. Inspiratory consisted...
Smoking is known to be a primary cause of chronic harmful effects on the vascular system. It also induces some acute coronary circulation and ophthalmic artery.The aim our study was assess effect smoking single cigarette cutaneous blood flow in habitual smokers as well nonsmokers.A laser Doppler flowmeter used perform measurements microcirculation. Flowmetric data were recorded (i) before smoking, (ii) inhaling from an unlighted cigarette, (iii) during (iv) 2 (v) 5 min after smoking.We could...
Dengue virus (DENV) infection affects millions of people and is becoming a major global disease for which there no specific available treatment. pep14-23 recently designed peptide, based on conserved segment DENV capsid (C) protein. It inhibits the interaction C with host intracellular lipid droplets (LDs), crucial viral replication. Combining bioinformatics biophysics, here, we analyzed structure ability to bind different phospholipids, relating that information full-length C. We show...
The presence of asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in hypertensive patients can be associated with the development cardiac events. increase sympathetic activity may 1 mechanisms that predisposes to this outcome. In study, we analyzed 2 hypotheses: (i) whether is higher LVDD, independent blood pressure control and (ii) different classes LVDD have a effect on activity. After analyzing function using echo Doppler cardiography, 45 receiving treatment were allocated into 3...
Although a slightly elevated office blood pressure (BP) has been reported in several studies, little is known about the prolonged resting pressure, heart rate (HR) and baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) of prehypertensive subjects with family history hypertension. Office (1 h) BP HR were measured 25 young normotensives positive hypertension (FH+) negative (FH-), matched for age, sex, body mass index. After measurements, samples collected determination norepinephrine, plasma renin activity...
Abstract —No study has been performed on reflexes originating from receptors in the heart that might be involved pathological lesions of Chagas’ disease. Our was undertaken to analyze role cardiopulmonary reflex cardiovascular control We studied 14 patients with disease without failure and 12 healthy matched volunteers. Central venous pressure, arterial blood rate, forearm flow, vascular resistance were recorded during deactivation receptors. By reducing central pressure by applying −10 −15...
Background The peripheral and central chemoreflexes are important autonomic mechanisms for regulating breathing cardiovascular function. Although pathological inflammatory infiltration of the chemoreceptors nervous system has been reported in Chagas’ disease, functional evaluation not yet performed. Methods Results hypothesis that chemoreflex function is altered patients with heart disease (CH) but normal left ventricle was tested 12 CH 13 matched control subjects. ventilatory rate, minute...
Malignant hypertension seems to be the consequence of very high blood pressure. Furthermore, an increase in sympathetic and renin-angiotensin system activity is considered main mechanisms producing malignant hypertension. In present study, 10 offspring hypertensive (OMH) parents (age 28 ± 5 years, 7 males, 3 females, 2 white 8 non-white) normotensive (ONT) 6 were evaluated. The OMH group had significantly higher (P < 0.05) casual pressure (125 10/81 mmHg) compared with ONT (99 13/67 mmHg)....
OBJECTIVES:We explored whether high blood pressure is associated with metabolic, inflammatory and prothrombotic dysregulation in patients metabolic syndrome.METHODS: We evaluated 135 consecutive overweight/obese patients.From this group, we selected 75 who were not under the regular use of medications for syndrome as defined by current Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation Treatment High Blood Cholesterol Adults criteria.The divided into without criteria ($130/$85 mmHg).RESULTS: Compared to...
During hypoxia, active substances released by the endothelium play a key role in cardiovascular and respiratory responses elicited to optimize oxygen delivery. As hypercholesterolemia is major cause of endothelial dysfunction, it may interfere with these responses.We studied ventilatory acute systemic hypoxia 14 patients (HC) 13 control (CO) subjects. Oxygen saturation decreased similarly both groups. Diastolic blood pressure increased only HC group (P=0.0002) and, despite systolic increases...
Arterial hypertension is a public health problem and patient adherence to treatment challenging. This study tested whether frequent nurse visits provide additional benefits antihypertensive treatment. Every 30 days, pharmacist visited these patients deliver drugs perform pill count. Nurses group A (48 patients) every 15 days B (52 90 days. Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring was performed 180 after randomization. At randomization, groups had the same clinical systolic (191 ± 5 v 186 3...
Background: Nursing turnover has an impact on the quality of care, patient safety, and hospital productivity.Objective: To map nursing staff retention strategies in hospitals.Method review: Scoping review protocol according to Joanna Briggs Institute method.
