Note:European (ESC 2024) and WHO guidelines still diagnose hypertension at 140/90 mm Hg, but identify 120–139 mm Hg systolic or 70–89 mm Hg diastolic as “elevated blood pressure,” a range already linked to increased long-term cardiovascular risk. In contrast, U.S. guidelines (ACC/AHA...
According to the CDC, blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and written as a ratio of two numbers. The first number, called systolic blood pressure, measures the pressure within the arteries when the heart beats. The second number, called diastolic blood pressure, measur...
Revised ADA standards address blood pressure goalsThe article reports on the revised standards of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) for diabetics' care which recommends a more flexible method for blood...
There is a growing emphasis being placed on the potential for cuffless blood pressure (BP) estimation through modelling of morphological features from the photoplethysmogram (PPG) and electrocardiogram (ECG). However, the appropriate features and models
Blood pressure: Blood pressure is a measure of the force of circulating blood on the walls of the arteries. Systolic blood pressure is measured when the heart beats while diastolic blood pressure is measured between heartbeats. 5 Oxygen saturation: Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen-satura...

Continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure (BP) outside of a clinical setting is crucial for preventing and diagnosing hypertension related diseases. However, current continuous BP monitoring instruments suffer from either bulky systems or poor use
During the menopausal transition, a change in insomnia symptoms was associated with a change in morning systolic blood pressure (β = 0.114 (CI95% 0.023–0.205), p = 0.016). At follow-up, at the age of 56, a higher percentage of REM sleep was associated with a lower odds of restless ...
The mean blood pressure was calculated as the average of up to three readings in NHANES III and up to four readings obtained in the continuous NHANES cycles. Glycated hemoglobin was measured for all participants who provided blood samples, regardless of their fasting status. All the other ...
