Although blood pressure has a continuous relationship to cardiovascular morbidity, hypertension is diagnosed at BP >140/90 mmHg. Recently, epidemiology studies confirm that the increase in CVD morbidity exists i
When measuring blood pressure, it’s common to see the measurement in mmHg, especially in clinical settings, but kPa might be used in scientific or engineering contexts. To convert a blood pressure reading from mmHg to kPa, you would multiply the mmHg value by 0.133. Conversely, to convert f...
Both systolic BP and diastolic BP differed among groups (F(2,133) ϭ 8.27, p Ͻ .001; F(2,133) ϭ 8.17, p Ͻ .001). Each was significantly higher in both older normal subjects and AD subjects than in young subjects. Heart rate also differed among groups (F(2, 133) ϭ ...

Other secondary outcomes include measures of changes in mean SDP and DBP from baseline to 4, 8, 12, 24, and 36 weeks. Proportion of progression to hypertension The proportion of subjects with hypertension (BP > 140/90 mmHg) will be calculated among the high-normal BP participants ...
Results were as follows: (i) The blood flow (BF) change determined by LD correlated well with that measured by HC and PO2 techniques; (ii) BF in the brainstem was maintained constant in the BP range of 35 to 80 mmHg; however, inner ear BF showed a poor autoregulatory function ...
There was no difference in baseline BP (152±1.33 mmHg vs 151±4.2 mmHg) or proteinuria (61±9.6 mg/d vs 60±16.8 mg/d) in the pregnant rats vs virgin rats (n=5-7). Pregnant rats exhibited increases in BP, proteinuria (Table), urinary 8-isoprostane excretion (13.46±2.34 vs 3.14±...
Similarly, a study in Sangju (a rural Korean town) showed that 94.4% of POAG cases with IOP of less than 21 mmHg [22]. A Chinese population-based study showed that about 80% of patients with POAG had maximum IOPs of 21 mmHg or less over a 24-hour period. Twenty-four-hour ...
By ANCOVA, NWO had higher BP (systolic BP, 128.6 ± 15.7 vs. 122.5 ± 15.5 mmHg, p < 0.001; diastolic BP, 79.6 ± 9.3 vs. 76.6 ± 10.1 mmHg, p < 0.001). NWO sub- jects had greater total body fat percentages and more visceral and subcutaneous fat. In addition, NWO sub- jects...
