Vitamin D status, hypertension and body mass index in an urban black community in Mangaung, South Africa.

African journal of primary health care & family medicine
BACKGROUND: A strong relationship exists between hypertension and body weight. Research has linked both higher blood pressure and body weight with lower vitamin D status.

Evaluating electronic health record data sources and algorithmic approaches to identify hypertensive individuals.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Phenotyping algorithms applied to electronic health record (EHR) data enable investigators to identify large cohorts for clinical and genomic research. Algorithm development is often iterative, depends on fallible investigator intuition, a...

A prediction model of blood pressure for telemedicine.

Health informatics journal
This paper presents a new study based on a machine learning technique, specifically an artificial neural network, for predicting systolic blood pressure through the correlation of variables (age, BMI, exercise level, alcohol consumption level, smokin...

Hypertension, haematuria and renal functioning in haemophilia - a cross-sectional study in Europe.

Haemophilia : the official journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This cross-sectional, epidemiological study sought to assess the prevalence and extent of potential risk factors for hypertension, particularly renal function related to haematuria and their associations in people with haem...

Microarray expression profiling and gene ontology analysis of long non-coding RNAs in spontaneously hypertensive rats and their potential roles in the pathogenesis of hypertension.

Molecular medicine reports
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been demonstrated to be significant in numerous biological processes. Hypertension is a form of cardiovascular disease with at least one billion cases worldwide. The present study sought to compare the differential...

The advantages of combination therapy on hypertension: development of immediate release perindopril-indapamide tablet and assessment of bioequivalence studies.

Pharmaceutical development and technology
Hypertension has a major associated risk for organ damage and mortality, which is further heightened in patients with prior cardiovascular events, comorbid diabetes mellitus, microalbuminuria and renal impairment. Convers Plus tablet including perind...

Phase information of time-frequency transforms as a key feature for classification of atrial fibrillation episodes.

Physiological measurement
Patients suffering from atrial fibrillation can be classified into different subtypes, according to the temporal pattern of the arrhythmia and its recurrence. Nowadays, clinicians cannot differentiate a priori between the different subtypes, and pati...

Association between metal mixture in urine and abnormal blood pressure and mediated effect of oxidative stress based on BKMR and Machine learning method.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
BACKGROUND: Exposure to heavy metals represents a significant risk factor for hypertension and blood pressure disorders. Notably, current evidence indicates that the key biological processes of oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunct...

A Transformer-Based Framework for Counterfactual Estimation of Antihypertensive Treatment Effect on COVID-19 Infection Risk - A Proof-of-Concept Study.

American journal of hypertension
BACKGROUND: Transformer-based neural networks excel in modelling high-dimensional, time-series data with complex dependencies. This proof-of-concept study applies a transformer-X-learner framework to estimate treatment effects using real-world data, ...

Artificial Intelligence to Improve Blood Pressure Control: A State-of-the-Art Review.

American journal of hypertension
Hypertension remains a major global health challenge, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming hypertension care by enhancing blood pressure (BP) measurem...
