Validation of the TM-2441 ambulatory blood pressure measurement device according to the ISO 81060-2: 2013 standard.

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate the TM-2441 ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) device using the ISO 81060-2:2013 standard.

Participants And Methods: Participants were healthy individuals aged more than 12 years who were recruited from among the outpatients and volunteers of Jichi Medical University (Tochigi, Japan). The same-arm sequence protocol (clinical validation) and the opposite-limb simultaneous method (ambulatory validation) from the ISO 81060-2:2013 standard were used.

Validation of the A&D BP UA-1200BLE device for home blood pressure measurement according to the ISO 81060-2: 2013 standard.

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate the UA-1200BLE device using the ISO 81060-2:2013 standard.

Materials And Methods: Individuals aged more than 12 years were recruited from among the outpatients and volunteers of Jichi Medical University (Tochigi, Japan). Eighty-five patients were included in the final analyses.

Novel Triggered Nocturnal Blood Pressure Monitoring for Sleep Apnea Syndrome: Distribution and Reproducibility of Hypoxia-Triggered Nocturnal Blood Pressure Measurements.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) causes blood pressure (BP) surges during sleep, which may lead to increased sleep-onset cardiovascular events. The authors recently developed a triggered nocturnal BP monitoring system that initiates BP measurements when oxygen desaturation falls below a variable threshold. The distribution and reproducibility of hypoxia-triggered nocturnal BP parameters compared with those of fixed-interval nocturnal BP parameters for two consecutive nights in 147 OSA patients (mean age 59.

Research and Development of Information and Communication Technology-based Home Blood Pressure Monitoring from Morning to Nocturnal Hypertension.

Asians have specific characteristics of hypertension (HTN) and its relationship with cardiovascular disease. The morning surge in blood pressure (BP) in Asians is more extended, and the association slope between higher BP and the risk for cardiovascular events is steeper in this population than in whites. Thus, 24-hour BP control including at night and in the morning is especially important for Asian patients with HTN.
