The ASAP study: association of atherosclerosis with pathobiology in a caucasian cohort-a study of 3400 autopsy reports.

Cardiovascular plaques result from atherosclerosis. Autopsy investigations of unnatural deaths provide atherosclerosis research. A Central European cohort was studied in a cross-sectional study to determine the origin of atherosclerosis and the link between arterial status and pathobiological variables.

Validation of the Meditech ABPM-06 24-hour blood pressure monitoring system in a pediatric population according to International Organization for Standardization Protocol 81060-2:2018.

Objective: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) devices play a crucial role in diagnosing hypertension, not only in adults but also in pediatric patients. ABPM-06, the latest oscillometric device from Meditech Ltd. (Budapest, Hungary), is the focus of this study.

Childhood Obesity: Does it Have Any Effect on Young Arteries?

Prevalence of overweight (OW) and obesity (O) in children and adolescents has been increased in the past three decades. Increased arterial stiffness measuring by aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) might be detected in OW/O children and adolescents. The aim of our study was to compare the arterial function parameters (AFPs), such as PWV; aortic augmentation index (Aix); aortic systolic blood pressure (SBP) and brachial systolic blood pressure (SBP) measured simultaneously in O/OW patients and healthy subjects.

Updated and revised normal values of aortic pulse wave velocity in children and adolescents aged 3-18 years.

Measurement of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is recommended for stratifying individual cardiovascular (CV) risk in adults. Diseases in children and adolescents might influence aortic stiffness. It is necessary to exclude overweight (OW), obese (O) subjects, and individuals with increased systolic (SBP) and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) from the population, when creating normal values of PWV in children and adolescents.

Reference values for resting and post exercise hemodynamic parameters in a 6-18 year old population.

This database is the first large dataset of haemodynamic changes of normal-weight pupils during a field exercise test. Here, we present a dataset for anthropometric and hemodynamic parameters measured both during relaxation and after exercise containing 1,173,342 data segments from 65,345 acquisition points of 10,894 normal weight subjects, covering an age range of 6-18 years collected in a course of 12 years. Data acquisition was carried out under standardised measuring conditions and specifications.

[Prevalence of hypertension in overweight and obese Hungarian children and adolescents].

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is increasing worldwide, which affects not only adults, but children and adolescents as well. Moreover, this condition may lead to several comorbidities, such as elevated or even high blood pressure. Aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of overweight- and obesity-related elevated and high blood pressure in a population aged 3-18 years in Hungary.

Prevalence of Overweight and Obesity in Hungarian Children and Adolescents.

Background/aims: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents is increasing worldwide, and this condition is a risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of overweight and obesity among the 3-18-year-old population in Szolnok City and the surrounding areas.

Methods: Anthropometric data from healthy, white individuals recruited from nursery, elementary, and secondary schools were used to assess the prevalence of obesity and overweight in Szolnok City and the surrounding area, Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county, Hungary.
