Increased inter-arm blood pressure (BP) difference has been associated with markers of cardiovascular (CV) organ damage [1,2,3,4,5,6,7], CV morbidity, and all-cause mortality [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 ...

Have you ever thought about all the ways pressure differences affect our lives? Pressure differences propel the vehicles we drive. The explosion in an internal combustion engine creates an extreme ...

Blood pressure measurements in children and adolescents should be taken from both arms after new research showed substantial differences could be seen depending on which arm was used. The study, led ...

It remains unclear whether poor cardiovascular outcomes are associated with the longitudinal changes in inter-arm blood pressure (BP) difference. We aimed to investigate the role of repeated BP ...

Using data from both mice and humans, a research team has found that a cell surface protein that senses odors and chemicals may be responsible for -- and help explain -- male/female differences in ...
