BACKGROUND Masked diastolic hypotension is a new blood pressure (BP) pattern
detected by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in elderly hypertensives. The aim …

Background: The guidelines recommend intensive blood pressure control. Randomized
trials have focused on the relevance of the systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering, leaving …

Background and aim: Myocardial injury in liver cirrhosis associated esophagogastric
variceal bleeding (EGVB) is a serious complication of liver cirrhosis, which burdens the …

Hypertension is the world's leading factor in cardiovascular disease. Forty-seven percent or

Objective To examine effects of systolic blood pressure (SBP)/diastolic blood pressure
(DBP) on the incidence of stroke among in-service workers and retirees enrolled in a study …

Background: Hypertension is a global public health problem. Inaccurate blood pressure (BP)
measurements result in unnecessary or insufficient treatment, which increases the risk of …

Methods We evaluated 227 patients with HF in a multi-center retrospective cohort that
included those with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)≤ 40% undergoing ARNI …

We investigated the optimal combinations of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic
blood pressure (DBP) levels for lowest mortality in participants not taking hypertensive …

The main goal of this thesis is to develop statistical methods for non-parametric
independence testing and regression between a covariate and a right-censored event-time …

Background: Hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and
premature death. Prevalence of hypertension in the adult population in Sweden has been …
