Dynamic observations over a group of pilots within a working week during three months have shown that blood pressure increases to meet the requirements via a higher cardiac output. When stresses grow and fatigue sets in, the pattern of circulation regulation changes so that elevated blood pressure is maintained due to an increased peripheral resistance. Differential approach to the pattern of blood pressure regulation makes it possible to assess the degree of circulation adaptation to various work loads.

Background: The arterial stiffening is attributed to the intrinsic structural stiffening and/or load-dependent stiffening by increased blood pressure (BP). The respective lifetime alterations and major determinants of the two components with normal aging are not clear.
Methods: A total of 3053 healthy adults (1922 women) aged 18-79 years were enrolled.

Introduction: Hypertension is the leading preventable cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality globally, with a disproportionate impact on low-income and middle-income countries like Sri Lanka. Effective blood pressure (BP) control improves outcomes in patients with hypertension. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension, and its correlates among Sri Lankan patients with hypertension in clinic settings.
