Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of central and brachial blood pressure to left ventricular hypertrophy. The Czech Post-MONICA Study.

TL;DR: Noninvasively determined central pressure in subjects over 45 years is more strongly related to ECG LVH than brachial pressure, which further supports a closer association of central pressure with target organ damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality of Life Predictors in Chronic Stable Post-Stroke Patients and Prognostic Value of SF-36 Score as a Mortality Surrogate

TL;DR: In conclusion, anxiety, depression, and raised brain natriuretic peptide levels were the most important covariates of impaired QoL in post-stroke patients and a decreased SF-36 score (≤40) represents an independent surrogate of increased additive mortality risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Continuation of the ESH-CHL-SHOT trial after publication of the SPRINT: rationale for further study on blood pressure targets of antihypertensive treatment after stroke

TL;DR: The ESH-CHL-SHOT trial investigators include Alberto Zanchetti, Lisheng Liu, Giuseppe Mancia, Gianfranco Parati, Guido Grassi, Marco Stramba-Badiale, Vincenzo Silani, Grzegorz Bilo, Giovanni Corrao, Antonella Zambon, Lorenza Scotti, Xinhua Zhang, Ting Rui Guan, Yuqing Zhang, Xuezhong
Journal ArticleDOI

Large artery stiffness and carotid flow pulsatility in stroke survivors.

TL;DR: The results suggest that aortic stiffening, by reducing the buffering function of the aorta and thereby increasing the transmission of pressure and flow pulsatility into the cerebral arterioles, may contribute to the pathogenesis of lacunar stroke.
