AI Article Synopsis
- The Mobil-O-Graph 24/48 h ambulatory blood pressure monitor was validated following European Society of Hypertension criteria, showing high accuracy in measuring blood pressure.
- In phase I, measurements were consistent, with most systolic readings differing by less than 10 mmHg from standard measures, while diastolic readings performed even better.
- Phase II confirmed these findings with excellent percentages of readings within specified limits, suggesting the device is reliable for clinical use.
Article Abstract
We report on the validation of the new generation Mobil-O-Graph 24/48 h ambulatory blood pressure monitor according to the criteria of the European Society of Hypertension. In 15 individuals participating in phase I for systolic pressure, all 45 measures differed less than 15 mmHg, 43 and 33 out of 45 differed less than 10 and 5 mmHg. As for diastolic pressures even better scores were reached when the device passed the EHS score. In phase II, data were collected in an additional 18 individuals leaving a total of 33 individuals and 99 measures. The phase counts the achieved percentages of two or three measures per individual within 15, 10 and 5 mmHg limits. Systolic pressures exceeded the required 95, 80 and 65% for 15, 10 and 5 mmHg differences with values of 98, 94 and 71%, respectively. As again for diastolic pressure the values were even better, the device passed phase II also. Thus, all phases of the European Society of Hypertension procedure were passed and the results of this study can recommend the use of the Mobil-O-Graph new generation ambulatory blood pressure monitor device in clinical practice.

Background: Increased aortic blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness are associated with higher cardiovascular risk in hemodialysis. Previous works showed that lower dialysate sodium is associated with lower brachial-BP; data on aortic-BP and arterial stiffness are limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different dialysate sodium concentrations on 72-hour aortic-BP and arterial stiffness parameters in hemodialysis patients.

Introduction: Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are among the main causes of death in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Physical activity (PA) and fitness are potential protective factors against the progression of CV risk factors and atherosclerosis.
Aim: To analyze trends over time in PA, sedentary time (ST) and physical fitness and their associations of with traditional and novel markers of CV risk and subclinical atherosclerosis in women with SLE over a 3-year follow-up period.

Introduction The World Health Organization has drawn attention to the fact that coronary artery disease (CAD) is our modern "epidemic." Nowadays, sudden death during sleep has become prevalent due to a lack of oxygen supply to the heart. CAD causes more deaths and disabilities and incurs greater economic costs than any other illness in the developed world.

Introduction: Blood pressure (BP) variability (BPV) has emerged as an indicator of subclinical organ damage and an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality in high-risk populations.
Aim: We aimed to assess short-term variability of both brachial and aortic BP in psoriasis, a common immune-mediated inflammatory disorder characterized by increased CVD risk.
Methods: Psoriasis patients and non-psoriasis individuals had their BP assessed throughout a 24 h period (Mobil-O-Graph device).
