TL;DR: Investigation of how frequent blood pressure (BP) readings need to be obtained to reproduce the diurnal BP profile without loss or distortion of information found concordance tended to be better for the level of pressure than for the parameters of thediurnal profile.

TL;DR: In this urban Bantu population of Kinshasa, Zaïre, age and body weight are the major predictors of systolic pressure in youths and the major Predictors of both syStolic and diastolic Pressure in adults.

TL;DR: The present findings suggest that, in men, low serum levels of DHEAS may be associated with coronary heart disease, however, whether DHEA supplementation has any cardiovascular benefit is not clear.

TL;DR: No systematic difference was shown between (a-v)CO2 content difference determined on whole blood and end-tidal gas, which justified the exclusion of a correction factor for blood to alveolar gas PCO2 gradients and in the calculation of cardiac output by the direct Fick method for CO2 and by CO2 rebreathing.

TL;DR: The SHEP trail did not demonstrate a significant beneficial effect of antihypertensive treatment on any of the cardiovascular mortality endpoints, and it is possible that due to selection, the SHEP patients were not entirely representative of the elderly with ISH in the population at large.
