To compare the impact of manual right arm blood pressure measurement with computer-controlled blood pressure meter (CCBPM) on the detection rate of hypertension among elderly individuals. This was a cross-sectional study. Elderly residents undergoing routine health check-up in a village in Jiangxi Province from April to June 2024 were enrolled.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) by coordinating heart muscle segments, especially between papillary muscles, beyond just boosting left ventricular (LV) performance.
- Eighteen patients with dilated cardiomyopathy underwent tests to measure heart function, and biventricular pacing showed a significant reduction in mitral regurgitation despite some patients showing no change in LV pressure.
- The study concludes that CRT effectively lowers FMR independently of LV systolic function improvements, highlighting the importance of understanding its mechanisms for better treatment outcomes.
Comparison of epicardial adipose tissue volume of normal and coronary artery disease patients during diastolic and systolic phases of retrospective electrocardiogram-gated volume scan.

Department of Cardiology, Ibara City Hospital, 1186 Ibara-tyou, Ibara-city, Okayama, 715-0019 Japan.
Introduction: The abundance of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) correlates with the extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). If the quantity of EAT varies between diastole and systole during an ECG-synchronized volume scan, it can potentially affect the diagnostic accuracy of CAD. The aim of this study was to compare the EAT volume between the diastolic and systolic phases during an ECG-gated volume scan of patients with or without CAD.

Department of Cardiology, Westmead Hospital, Cnr Darcy and Hawkesbury Roads, Sydney, NSW 2145 Australia.
Purpose: To evaluate ECG-gated retinal vessel calibre as a novel measure of aberrant pulsatile retinal flow in diabetes mellitus.
Methods: A novel mydriatic ECG-gated fundoscope was used to acquire retinal vessel calibre measurements at four cardiac cycle time points from end diastole to early diastole. An inhouse software recorded the exact time when an image was captured to corroborate ECG-synchronisation.
Association Between Finger Plethysmographic Features and Impedance-Based Thoracic Fluid Content Measurement in a Lower Body Negative Pressure Model of Hemorrhagic Shock.

Introduction: Timely identification of the need for lifesaving intervention in battlefield conditions may be improved through automated monitoring of the injured warfighter. Technologies that combine maximal noninvasive insight with minimal equipment footprint give the greatest opportunity for deployment at scale with inexperienced providers in forward areas. Finger photoplethysmography (PPG) signatures are associated with impending hemorrhagic shock but may be insufficient alone.
