The Handbook of Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring by Josep Solà,Ricard Delgado-Gonzalo Pdf

This book is the first comprehensive overview of the emerging field of cuffless blood pressure monitoring. Increasing clinical evidence proves that longitudinal measurements of blood pressure allow for earlier detection and better management of multiple medical conditions and for superior prediction of cardiovascular events. Unfortunately, today’s clinical and industry standards for blood pressure monitoring still require the inflation of a pneumatic cuff around a limb each time a measurement is taken. Over the last decades clinicians, scientists and device manufacturers have explored the feasibility of technologies that reduce or even completely eliminate the need of cuffs, initiating the era of cuffless blood pressure monitoring. Among the existing literature, this book is intended to be a practical guide to navigate across this emerging field. The chapters of the handbook have been elaborated by experts and key opinion leaders in the domain, and will guide the reader along the clinical, scientific, technical, and regulatory aspects of cuffless blood pressure monitoring.

Home Blood Pressure Monitoring by George S. Stergiou,Gianfranco Parati,Giuseppe Mancia Pdf

Hypertension remains a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Self-monitoring of blood pressure by patients at home is currently recommended as a valuable tool for the diagnosis and management of hypertension. Unfortunately, in clinical practice, home blood pressure monitoring is often inadequately implemented, mostly due to the use of inaccurate devices and inappropriate methodologies. Thus, the potential of the method to improve the management of hypertension and cardiovascular disease prevention has not yet been exhausted. This volume presents the available evidence on home blood pressure monitoring, discusses its strengths and limitations, and presents strategies for its optimal implementation in clinical practice. Written by distinguished international experts, it offers a complete source of information and guide for practitioners and researchers dealing with the management of hypertension.

Blood Pressure Measurements by W. Meyer-Sabellek,M. Anlauf,R. Gotzen,L. Steinfeld Pdf

In addition to standardized casual blood pressure readings, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) - using automatic noninvasive (= indirect) devices for home readings and fully automated monitors for 24-h profiles - have become a widely used necessary tool in clinical research. This book summarizes the state of the art in the whole field of indirect blood pressure monitoring. It is based on two international meetings and on invited papers. We have divided the subject matter into two main areas: 1) Automatic blood pressure devices for discontinuous registration, and 2) Portable, fully automated programmable monitors for continuous monitoring. The availability of all new technologies is described in detail and current technical and physiological problems have been covered in depth. Both topics have been subdivided into a) Methods and Techniques, and b) Clinical Applications. Both parts are updated and have critically evaluated available automatic sphygmomanometers and portable computers equipped with different techni ques (e. g. , auscultation, oscillometry, plethysmography). Reliability in the intensiv Care unit as well as in outpatients management, common clinical problems, clinical relevance compared to casual blood pressure are described in the first part. In the second part, ten years of experience on fully automated noninvasive methodology - compared to intraarterial techniques - have been elaborated by international experts; the possibilities and limitations are clearly demonstrated. Analyses in different clinical fields in the diagnosis of primary and secondary hypertension are given. Different statistical analyses of blood pressure variability and circadian rhythms are discussed.

Hypertensive Heart Disease by B.E. Strauer Pdf

In the Federal Republic of Germany today there are 6 to 8 million hypertensive patients. Of them, 3 to 4 million show organic cardiac manifestations of hypertension. Of all deaths occurring before the age of 65, 40% are attributable to hypertension, and the total mortality from hypertension is about 25%. The high cardiac morbidity and mortality potential of the risk factor 'hyper tension' lies in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure and coronary artery disease. In addition, hypertensive patients are predisposed to develop secondary cardiac diseases. The aim of the present study was to analyse the myocardial function and coronary haemodynamics in essential hypertension, i. e. the most common type of pressure load imposed on the human heart. Consequently, the function and mode of operation of the hypertensive heart are described - a type of hypertrophy of the human heart which to date has almost been ignored in pathophysiology and diagnostics. On the basis of the findings, conclusions are drawn for the differential diagnosis and therapy of the hypertensive heart accompanied by hypertrophy, heart failure and coronary artery disease.
