In the present review, we summarized the blood pressure (BP) measurement protocols of contemporary outcome trials in hypertension. In all these trials, clinic BP was used for the diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring of hypertension. In most...
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Is Closely Related to Cardiovascular Risk Factors, but Not to Clinical Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation after Catheter Ablation: An Analysis of Atrial Fibrillation Patients [0.03%]
阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停与心血管风险因素密切相关，但与其导管消融后房颤临床复发无关：一项关于房颤患者的分析研究
Chan Joo Lee,Tae-Hoon Kim,Sungha Park et al.
Chan Joo Lee et al.
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a well-known predictor of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, OSA usually accompanies other risk factors of AF. We tried to investigate whether OSA is related to AF recurrence a...
Evaluation of Central Blood Pressure in an Asian Population: Comparison between Brachial Oscillometry and Radial Tonometry Methods [0.03%]

Satoshi Hoshide,Takahiro Komori,Yukiyo Ogata et al.
Satoshi Hoshide et al.
Background: New devices have recently been developed using various features of the waveform derived from a brachial cuff for noninvasive estimation of central systolic blood pressure (SBP). Central SBP estimated from brac...
High-Intensity Statin Therapy Is "Too Much," Thus Not Indicated for Very Elderly Patients [0.03%]
高强度他汀类药物治疗对老年患者来说"太过分",因此不适用于非常老的患者群体
Ok Sang Lee,Jinlong Zhang,Sun-Hoi Jung et al.
Ok Sang Lee et al.
Purpose: Although moderate- to high-intensity statin therapy is increasingly recommended in cardiovascular disease patients, the efficacy and safety in elderly patients have not been proven clearly. Here, we compare the e...
Evaluation of the Accuracy of a New Cuffless Magnetoplethysmography Blood Pressure Monitor in Hypertensive Patients [0.03%]
无袖带磁电容血压监测仪在高血压患者中的准确度评价
Sua Kim,Jung Dong Lee,Jeong Bae Park et al.
Sua Kim et al.
Objective: There is a growing demand for cuffless blood pressure (BP) measurement as an easy alternative to cuff-occlusion-based BP measurement. We assessed the accuracy of a new cuffless, watch-style BP monitor with a ma...
