Journal ArticleDOI
Perception of cardiovascular risk and comparison with actual cardiovascular risk
TL;DR: Only half of the individuals could provide an estimate of their perceived CVD risk, and this perception was strongly associated with SES, which means individuals under treatment perceived higher CVDrisk than nontreated individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Serum Lipoprotein(a) Distribution and its Correlates among Black and White Populations
Pascal Bovet,Martin Rickenbach,Vincent Wietlisbach,Walter F. Riesen,Conrad F. Shamlaye,Roger Darioli,Bernard Burnand +6 more
TL;DR: In both ethnic groups, serum Lp(a) was found to correlate with total cholesterol, LDL-ch cholesterol and apoprotein B but not with HDL-cholesterol, alcohol intake, smoking, and body mass index, consistent with the hypothesis that genetic factors account for much of the variation in both populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic difference between blood pressure readings caused by cuff type.
Pascal Bovet,Philippe Hungerbuhler,Jessy Quilindo,Marie-Louise Grettve,Bernard Waeber,Bernard Burnand +5 more
TL;DR: The age-adjusted effect of body mass index on systolic and diastolic blood pressures decreased twofold using blood pressure readings made with a Tricuff instead of a standard cuff.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding and Meeting the Needs of the Older Population: A Global Challenge
Howard Bergman,Sathya Karunananthan,Luis Miguel Gutiérrez Robledo,Jenny Brodsky,Piu Chan,Maria Cheung,Pascal Bovet +6 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Gender difference in the response to an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and a diuretic in hypertensive patients of African descent.
TL;DR: In this paper, the ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) response to a diuretic and an ACE inhibitor in hypertensive patients of East African descent was examined and individual characteristics that determined treatment efficacy.
