Blood clots are clumps of blood that form in response to injury. This a natural and protective process by the body which helps to stop bleeding – if our blood couldn’t clot, we’d bleed excessively from the tiniest of scratches. Most of the time, clotting happens as a safe, natu...
Additional Information: The blood pressure monitors for the BUMP trials were purchased from the manufacturer (Microlife) at commercial prices. The BUMP app has been developed into a commercial product in collaboration with Sensyne Health and provided free to the NHS during the COVID-19 pandemic thro...
Blood pressure (BP) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and more than 200 genetic loci associated with BP are known. Here, we perform a multi-stage genome-wide association study for BP (max N = 289,038) principally in East Asians and
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote care, or telemedicine, in many clinical areas including maternity care. One component of remote care, the use of self-monitoring of blood pressure in pregnancy, could form a key component in post-p
Various models have been proposed for the estimation of blood pressure (BP) from pulse transit time (PTT). PTT is defined as the time delay of the pressure wave, produced by left ventricular contraction, measured between a proximal and a distal site alon
This randomized clinical trial compares the effects of a fixed low-dose triple combination antihypertensive pill vs usual care on high blood pressure
We carried out a trans-ancestry genome-wide association and replication study of blood pressure phenotypes among up to 320,251 individuals of East Asian, European and South Asian ancestry. We find genetic variants at 12 new loci to be associated with blood pressure (P = 3.9 × 10−11 to ...
Results: It remains uncertain how much additional pressure this will create for the current Apheresis service; many patients scheduled for CAR-T therapy would otherwise progress down the autologous HSCT pathway and undergo peripheral blood stem cell collection. However, we required both the flexibility...
