Strict blood-pressure control and progression of renal failure in children.

20 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Although inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system delays the progression of renal failure in adults with chronic kidney disease, the blood-pressure target for optimal renal protection is controversial. We assessed the long-term ... Read more...

A selective endothelin-receptor antagonist to reduce blood pressure in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

9 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Hypertension cannot always be adequately controlled with available drugs. We investigated the blood-pressure-lowering effects of the new vasodilatory, selective endothelin type A antagonist, darusentan, in patients with ... Read more...

Partial hindlimb occlusion reduced the susceptibility to sustained ventricular tachycardia in conscious rats.

30 Aug 2009 Remote conditioning induced by ischemia in distant organs protects the heart from ischemia/reperfusion injury; however, its effect on ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmias is unknown. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that partial hindlimb ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Blood Pressure Monitoring, Ambulatory'

Definition: Method in which repeated blood pressure readings are made while the patient undergoes normal daily activities. It allows quantitative analysis of the high blood pressure load over time, can help distinguish between types of HYPERTENSION, and can assess the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy.
