Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the automated oscillometric upper arm blood pressure monitor HL868ED for clinical use and self-measurement according to the International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension revision 2010.
Method: Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured sequentially in 43 adult Chinese (21 women, mean age 51.7 years) using a mercury sphygmomanometer (two observers) and the HL868ED device (one supervisor). A total of 99 pairs of comparisons were obtained from 43 participants for judgements in two parts with three grading phases.
Results: The HL868ED device achieved the targets in part 1 of the validation study. The number of absolute differences between device and observers within 5, 10 and 15 mmHg was 68/99, 91/99 and 97/99, respectively, for systolic blood pressure and 85/99, 95/99 and 99/99, respectively, for diastolic blood pressure. The device also fulfilled the criteria in part 2 of the validation study. Twenty-four and 30 participants for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively, had at least two of the three device-observer differences within 5 mmHg (required ≥24). Three participants for systolic and one participant for diastolic blood pressure had all the three device-observer comparisons greater than 5 mmHg.
Conclusion: The Health & Life blood pressure monitor HL868ED has passed the requirements of the International Protocol revision 2010 and hence can be recommended for blood pressure measurements in adults.

Acute physical exercise and ambulatory blood pressure in resistant hypertension.
J Hypertens
November 2024
Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid.
Objectives: The effects of acute physical exercise in patients with resistant hypertension remain largely unexplored compared with hypertensive patients in general. We assessed the short-term effects of acute moderate-intensity (MICE) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on the clinic (BP) and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) of patients with resistant hypertension.
Methods: Using a crossover randomized controlled design, 10 participants (56 ± 7 years) with resistant hypertension performed three experimental sessions: MICE, HIIE, and control.
Objective: The oxidative balance score (OBS) has emerged as a novel marker for assessing oxidative stress status. This study aimed to investigate the association of OBS with systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), all-cause, and cardiovascular disease mortality in hypertensive patients.
Methods: We conducted an analysis of data from 7602 hypertensive patients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2018.
Participation interest and completion of home blood pressure measurements with mailed devices in adults with and without hypertension.

Robert Koch Institute, Department of Epidemiology and Health Monitoring.
Objectives: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is valuable for the detection and monitoring of hypertension. Despite logistical advantages, HBPM has not yet been used in national blood pressure (BP) surveys. We investigated randomly selected adults' willingness to participate in an HBPM study (attitude survey) and piloted this approach (feasibility study).

Background: Lowering barometric pressure (LP) can exacerbate neuropathic pain. However, animal studies in this field are limited to a few conditions. Furthermore, although sympathetic involvement has been reported as a possible mechanism, whether the sympathetic nervous system is involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis remains unknown.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are governed by a cluster of unhealthy behaviours and their determinants, like tobacco and alcohol, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, overweight and obesity, pollution (air, water, and soil), and stress. Regulation of these unhealthy behaviours plays a crucial role in blood pressure control among individuals on hypertensive treatment, especially those suffering from uncontrolled hypertension. Hence, the present study aims at identifying the unhealthy behaviours associated with uncontrolled hypertension.
