Double hit! A unique case of resistant hypertension.

BMJ case reports
A middle-aged woman with obesity, hyperlipidaemia and diet-controlled diabetes was referred for resistant hypertension. Her blood pressure (BP) was uncontrolled on five medications, including a diuretic. Physical exam revealed a systolic ejection mur...

A functional supervised learning approach to the study of blood pressure data.

Statistics in medicine
In this work, a functional supervised learning scheme is proposed for the classification of subjects into normotensive and hypertensive groups, using solely the 24-hour blood pressure data, relying on the concepts of Fréchet mean and Fréchet variance...

Aging and decreased glomerular filtration rate: An elderly population-based study.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Although a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in old people has been attributed to physiologic aging, it may be associated with kidney disease or superimposed comorbidities. This study aims to assess the prevalence of decreased GFR ...

Mechanisms of pulse pressure amplification dipping pattern during sleep time: the SAFAR study.

Journal of the American Society of Hypertension : JASH
The difference in pulse pressure (PP) between peripheral arteries and the aorta, called pulse pressure amplification (PPamp), is a well-described physiological phenomenon independently associated with cardiovascular events. Recent studies suggest tha...

Effects of aqueous leaf extract of Tridax procumbens on contractile activity of corpus cavernosum in N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester-induced hypertensive male rats.

Journal of integrative medicine
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effects of aqueous leaf extract of Tridax procumbens (ALETP) on contractile activity of corpus cavernosum in N-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME)-induced hypertensive male rats.

Estimation of Pulse Transit Time From Radial Pressure Waveform Alone by Artificial Neural Network.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
OBJECTIVE: To validate the feasibility of the estimation of pulse transit time (PTT) by artificial neural network (ANN) from radial pressure waveform alone.

An Ensemble Multilabel Classification for Disease Risk Prediction.

Journal of healthcare engineering
It is important to identify and prevent disease risk as early as possible through regular physical examinations. We formulate the disease risk prediction into a multilabel classification problem. A novel Ensemble Label Power-set Pruned datasets Joint...

Prediction of marker genes associated with hypertension by bioinformatics analyses.

International journal of molecular medicine
This study aimed to explore the underlying marker genes associated with hypertension by bioinformatics analyses. A gene expression profile (GSE54015) was downloaded. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the normotensive female (NF) and h...

Cardiovascular events in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion: analysis with artificial neural networks.

European journal of endocrinology
BACKGROUND: The independent role of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) in influencing the cardiovascular event (CVE) occurrence is a topic of interest. We investigated the role of mild ACS in the CVE occurrence in patients with adrenal incident...
