Article Synopsis
- Measuring blood pressure and understanding arterial hemodynamics are crucial for assessing cardiovascular health and disease risk.
- Various techniques for measuring BP exist, yet the details, benefits, and drawbacks of these methods can be confusing for clinicians.
- An expert group produced guidelines to clarify these methods and their practical applications to improve clinical practice for cardiovascular assessment.
Drugs acting by inhibition of the angiogenic action of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) have become major instruments in the treatment of cancer. The downside of their favorable effects in cancer treatment is their frequent cardiovascular side effects.

No previous studies have investigated the crosstalk between the microvasculature and macrovasculature in childhood. Methods and Results In a case-control study, we enrolled 55 children aged 11 years weighing <1000 g at birth and 71 matched controls (October 2014-November 2015).
