Article Abstract
This cross-sectional study carried out from November 2014 to December 2014 aimed to determine whether the interankle systolic blood pressure (SBP) difference is an independent marker of prevalent stroke. Simultaneous four-limb blood pressure measurements (oscillometric devices) and calculated SBP difference between the lower limbs were collected from 1485 participants aged 35 years and older. Questionnaires about traditional stroke risk factors were completed. Interankle SBP difference ≥7 mm Hg was independently associated with a history of stroke after adjusting for traditional stroke risk factors (odds ratio, 1.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.53-3.59; P=.0123). Net reclassification improvement analysis showed that adding the interankle SBP difference to traditional risk factors improved the predictive ability for stroke risk by 18.5% (P<.001). In conclusion, an interankle SBP difference ≥7 mm Hg could be an independent marker of stroke history in Chinese adults. It could offer an extra benefit in identifying individuals with risk of stroke beyond conventional clinical features.

Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR)-guided imagery relaxation (VRGI) intervention in reducing anxiety among lung cancer surgery patients.
Methods: A randomized clinical trial was conducted at the Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Hebei Medical University (Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China) to recruit patients scheduled for their first elective endoscopic lung cancer surgery under general anesthesia between December 2023 and March 2024. Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the control group, receiving routine treatment and staged care in thoracic surgery, or the experimental group, receiving VRGI intervention in addition to the control group's protocol.

Background: Migraine is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk, including hypertension. Anti-calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are effective preventive treatments, but concerns have been raised about their potential hypertensive effects. Herein, we assess the early changes in blood pressure (BP) during anti-CGRP mAbs treatment in patients with migraine using 24-h Holter monitoring.

Background: Maternal obesity is a growing global health concern, yet its impact on maternal haemodynamic throughout pregnancy remains underexplored. We investigated haemodynamic adaptations across gestation in women with high body mass index (BMI) (≥35 kg/m) and results were compared to low-risk controls (BMI 18.5-24.

Background: Recent American Heart Association guidelines have relied on post hoc subgroup analyses to identify summary blood pressure measures for targets in early management of acute intracerebral hemorrhage. To our knowledge, measurement error has not been considered when determining the impact of these summary measures. Our objective was to determine whether statistically significant differences in three systolic blood pressure (SBP) measures (achieved SBP, SBP variability, and magnitude of SBP reduction) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage from the antihypertensive treatment of acute cerebral hemorrhage II (ATACH-2) randomized clinical trial are clinically meaningful by comparing them to a minimally detectable difference (MDD) of 10 mm Hg.

Introduction: Renal artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) is a life-threatening complication of partial nephrectomy (PN) with reported rates of 1% to 2%. No studies have reported on the association between intraoperative blood pressure (BP) and RAP.
Methods: We identified all PN patients in our system between 2010 and 2024 and identified those with RAP (cases).
