Ambulatory blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were evaluated cross-sectionally in 484 recordings (24 to 48 hours) obtained by validated automated devices from 166 women with uncomplicated pregnancies (413
When we delve into the question of how this vital metric is measured, devices like the Oxiline Pressure X Pro and CheckMe BP2 emerge as important names, which are also discussed in this article. Its importance is so paramount that many health enthusiasts and professionals alike advocate for a...
"People are born with very elastic vessels that can expand easily, and bounce back when the pressure on them is low. As people age, they get plaque buildup inside the blood vessels, and the flexible walls of the arteries become stiff," she said. "Now, when the heart squeezes and pushe...
During evolution, polyploidisation is one of the main routes to the growth of organismal complexity and evolutionary plasticity, and this occurs in all organism types, both in plants and animals. Polyploidy provides genomic and phenotypic plasticity that enables cells to evolve adaptive phenotype vari...
Fig. 1: Construction of stemTOC and estimation of mitotic age. a We first identify CpGs (n = 30,257) mapping to within 200 bp upstream of the TSS of genes that are unmethylated (defined by DNAm beta value < 0.2) across 86 fetal-tissue samples from 13 different fetal-tissue...
Analysis of heart rate variation (HRV) has become a popular noninvasive tool for assessing the activities of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). HRV analysis is based on the concept that fast fluctuations may specifically reflect changes of sympathetic a
Changes of heart rate and blood pressure during pregnancy As shown in Fig. 1, the overall heart rate (HR) had an increasing trend with gestational age. There was significant difference in both HR and systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP and DBP) between the measurements from gestational...
Heart rate (HR) c. Blood pressure (BP) High blood pressure is known as the silent killer, why is this an appropriate name? In your answer, explain how blood pressure is measured and what readings indicate that your pressure is high. How can this condition be improved or prevented? What ...
The adverse effects of particulate air pollution on heart rate variability (HRV) have been reported. However, it remains unclear whether they differ by the weight status as well as between wake and sleep. Methods A repeated-measure study was conducted in 97 young adults in Beijing, China, and...
To diagnose heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), the following three criteria have to be fulfilled [1–8]: 1. Signs and symptoms generally present in heart failure, and 2. Preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, defined as LV-EF ≥ 50%, in the presence of a nor...
