Background: 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) values for patients who have office BP of 130/80 mm Hg have not been clearly reported.
Aim: The determination of ABPM values in treated hypertensive subjects corresponding to a mean office BP of 130/80 mm Hg.
Methods: BP measurement in subjects 40-70 years old, by ABPM and mercury sphygmomanometer.
Older patients are often affected by impaired cognitive function and high blood pressure. Damage to microcirculation of the brain is closely related to changes in large vessels. High blood pressure and vascular stiffness might lead to a damage in microcirculation of the brain and, consequently, to worsening of the patient's cognitive function and dementia.

- The study investigated the protective effects of different doses of pomiferin on reperfusion injury in rats, with groups receiving various doses and a placebo.
- The results showed that pomiferin enhanced the body's antioxidant defenses, reduced lipid peroxidation, and aided in kidney recovery post-ischaemia.
- The most significant improvements in kidney function and tissue health were observed with the lowest dose of pomiferin (5 mg/kg).
Introduction: Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provides an opportunity to evaluate 24-hour efficacy of once daily preparations.
Aims Of The Study: To evaluate 24-hour efficacy of losartan in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension and metabolic syndrome using the parametric population RDH index and normalized smoothness index.
Patient Sample And Methodology: Twenty seven patients with newly diagnosed hypertension and with metabolic syndrome, sufficiently responding to blood pressure therapy with losartan, assessed using sphygmomanometer.
