TL;DR: The historical background, the advantages and limitations of ABPM, the threshold levels for practice, and the cost-effectiveness of the technique are considered, while the role ofABPM in research circumstances, such as pharmacological trials and in the prediction of outcome in epidemiological studies is examined.

TL;DR: The requirements and the methodological issues to be addressed for using ABPM in clinical practice are addressed, the clinical indications for ABPM suggested by the available studies are outlined in detail, and the place of home measurement of blood pressure in relation to ABPM is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vagal and sympathetic components of the heart rate range and gain of the baroreceptor-heart rate reflex in conscious rats
Geoffrey A. Head,Richard McCarty +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the baroreceptor-HR reflex in the conscious rat is best characterised by a sigmoid curve with approximately equal contributions from both the cardiac vagus and the sympathetic nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of cardiac fibrosis in experimental hypermineralocorticoid states
TL;DR: It is concluded that the myocardial fibrosis observed in response to chronic mineralocorticoid elevation and salt loading is a humorally mediated event independent of hypokalemia, hypertension, and cardiac hypertrophy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Ace2 Deficiency Accentuates Vascular Inflammation and Atherosclerosis in the ApoE Knockout Mouse
Merlin C. Thomas,Raelene Pickering,Despina Tsorotes,Audrey Koitka,Karen Sheehy,Stella Bernardi,Barbara Toffoli,Thu-Phuc Nguyen-Huu,Geoffrey A. Head,Yi Fu,Jaye Chin-Dusting,Mark E. Cooper,Chris Tikellis +12 more
TL;DR: Genetic Ace2 deficiency is associated with upregulation of putative mediators of atherogenesis and enhances responsiveness to proinflammatory stimuli in atherosclerosis-prone ApoE KO mice, and these findings emphasize the potential utility of ACE2 repletion as a strategy to reduce Atherosclerosis.
