and elasticity loss. It can be put on a par with clinically structural arterial stiffness, which is reflected as pulse wave velocity (PWV) increasement. ECM changes in vessels are pathological conditions which lead to vascular remodeling and hypertension (Fig.4). No method has been found to rev...
tree (CART) growing method was used to split the data into segments that were as homogeneous as possible with respect to the dependent variable. The sum of goodness for each split was used to measure of the variable importance in the decision tree model26,27. Data Availability All data in ...
The auscultatory method should be used. Caffeine, exercise, and smoking should be avoided for at least 30 minutes before BP measurement. An appropriately sized cuff should be used BP Measurement At least two measurements should be made and the average recorded. Clinicians should provide to ...

the relationship between the state of sleep and BP cannot be evaluated using this method. Using a home BP-monitoring device, BP during sleep is measured once or twice during the night, although the frequency of measurement can be preset freely, and is therefore able to capture the BP in rel...
The strengths of this study include two intervention methods of DASH and DASH + TRE, while recording other major living factors such as sports, PSQI for sleeping assessment and score of life events, and random control method was used to conduct research. We specifically chose stage 1 patie...

Plasma glucose was measured with the glucose oxidase method. Lipids were measured using Beckman auto analyzer at the biochemistry laboratory of Zhejiang Hospital [7]. BP measurements were performed using standardized mercury sphygmomanometers in this study. Subjects were advised to avoid consuming alcohol...

Although this method is helpful in detecting or excluding significant PH, its intrinsic and operator-dependent limitations make early PH diagnosis and screening challenging (52, 53). In the presence of a tricuspid insufficiency peak gradient (TIPG) ≥30 mm Hg, some investigators have used ...
