  2. 1. High Blood Pressure in Children with Hydronephrosis

    Author : Ammar Nadhom Farman Al-Mashhadi; Mattias Carlström; Gundela Holmdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood pressure; hydronephrosis; hypertension; ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; nitric oxide; oxidative stress; pelvo-ureteric junction obstruction.; Barnkirurgi; Pediatric Surgery;

    Abstract : The most common cause of secondary hypertension is intrinsic renal disease, but little is known about the influence of hydronephrosis on blood pressure. In this thesis, the risk of development of hypertension in children with hydronephrosis was studied. READ MORE

  4. 2. Variability of blood pressure and heart rate in borderline and mild hypertension : With special reference to spectral analysis

    Author : Reijo Takalo; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; hypertension; blood pressure; ambulatory monitoring; power spectrum analysis; pulsecontour method; systemic hemodynamics; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study whether blood pressure (BP) or heart rate (HR) variability in borderline (BHT) and hypertensive (HT) subjects differs from that in normotensive (NT) subjects, and whether indices for BP and HR variability can be used in risk stratification for future hypertension. The study groups consisted of 35 NT, 29 BHT, and 34 HT middle-aged men. READ MORE

  5. 3. Blood pressure in atrial fibrillation

    Author : Joakim Olbers; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Hypertension is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and premature death. Prevalence of hypertension in the adult population in Sweden has been estimated to 27%. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia of clinical relevance with an estimated prevalence of at least 2.9% among adults in Sweden. READ MORE

  6. 4. Role of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after pediatric renal transplantation

    Author : Rafael Tomás Krmar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Children; renal transplantation; office blood pressure; ambulatory blood pressure; hypertension;

    Abstract : Background: Office blood pressure (BP) readings, i.e., BP obtained in a clinical setting, are the basis of the present knowledge concerning the risks associated with hypertension. READ MORE

  7. 5. Non-invasive measurement of skeletal muscle blood flow using by photoplethysmography. Experimental studies on the human leg

    Author : Qiuxia Zhang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; photoplethysmography; skeletal muscle blood flow; perfusion pressure; intramuscular pressure; venous obstruction; muscle exercise; non-invasive; limb elevation; vibration exposure; hyperaemia; foot pump.;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to validate a new non-invasive photoplethysmography (PPG) method for measuring relative changes in local muscle blood flow (MBF) in the human leg. Experimental conditions expected to impede or increase local MBF were used to test responsiveness of the PPG. READ MORE
