MmHg represents the height to which the pressure in the blood vessels can push a column of mercury in a manometer or sphygmomanometer, which are devices used to measure blood pressure. When a blood pressure reading is taken, two pressure levels are measured: systolic (the pressure during a hea...
Data from these studies have been combined and analyzed to determine the normal distribution of blood pressure levels in healthy children and adolescents. The resulting normal blood pressure range in healthy children from 1 to 17 years of age has become the blood pressure norms on which current ...

It is only in the past decade that blood pressure (BP) assessment in children and adolescents has become a routine clinical practice. BP was rarely measured in very young children prior to the 1970s, because it was too difficult to obtain reliable measurements. Additionally, it was generally b...
Blood pressure variability (BPV) and heart rate variability (HRV) have been associated with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) in rigorously controlled studies. However, the extent to which BPV and HRV may offer predictive information in real-world, routine clinical care is unclear...

These two blood pressures are known as the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure, respectively.It is generally agreed that a reading of 120 mm Hg systolic and 80 mm Hg diastolic are the norms for a blood pressure reading; that is, it represents the average blood pressure obtained from...
To address these issues, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has seen increasing use. Due to its superior accuracy in classifying BP levels, ABPM has also been shown to be cost-effective in the evaluation of childhood hypertension as compared to repeat office visits, and recent ...
Full size table Table4shows the distribution of their cuff-based blood pressure recordings with a majority of the blood pressure values within the non-hypertensive range (< 140/90 mmHg). Table 4 Distribution of reference systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) measurements (n = 140) ...
