Night-day blood pressure ratio and dipping pattern as predictors of death and cardiovascular events in hypertension (2009)

Fagard, RH, Thijs, L, Staessen, JA, Clement, Denis, DE BUYZERE, MARC, De Bacquer, Dirk

Our objective was to assess the prognostic significance of the night-time dipping pattern and the night–day blood pressure (BP) ratio for mortality and cardiovascular events in hypertensive...

Environmental exposure to cadmium, forearm bone density, and risk of fractures: prospective population study (1999)

Staessen, JA, Roels, HA, Emelianov, D, Kuznetsova, T, Thijs, L, Fagard, R, ...

Background Chronic low-level exposure to cadmium may promote calcium loss via urinary excretion. We undertook a prospective population study to investigate whether environmental exposure to cadmium...

Antihypertensive therapy in older patients with isolated systolic hypertension: the Syst-Eur experience in general practice (1996)

Celis, H, Yodfat, Y, Thijs, L, Clement, D, Cozic, J, De Cort, P, ...

Background and objective This interim report from the Syst-Eur trial investigated the level of blood pressure control achieved during the double-blind period in patients followed in general...

The increase in Blood Pressure with Age and Body Mass Index is Overestimated by Conventional Sphygmomanometry (1992)

Staessen, J., O'Brien, E., Atkins, N., Bulpitt, C. J., Cox, J., Fagard, R., ...

This cross-sectional study investigated whether the technique of blood pressure measurement used (conventional sphygmomanometry vs. ambulatory monitoring) affects the relation between blood pressure...

Blood Pressure, the Prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases, and Exposure to Cadmium: A Population Study (1991)

Staessen, J., Amery, A., Bernard, A., Bruaux, P., Buchet, J. P., Bulpitt, C. J., ...

In a population study conducted from 1985 to 1989 in Belgium, the authors investigated whether exposure to cadmium is associated with blood pressure elevation and with an increased prevalence of...

Life style as a blood pressure determinant.

Staessen, J A, Bieniaszewski, L, Pardaens, K, Petrov, V, Thijs, L, Fagard, R

In Belgium, an affluent Western European country, participation in sports, alcohol intake, and living in a working class area were identified as the life style factors with the closest associations...

Modern approaches to blood pressure measurement

Staessen, J., O'Brien, E., Thijs, L., Fagard, R.

BACKGROUND—Blood pressure (BP) is usually measured by conventional sphygmomanometry. Although apparently simple, this procedure is fraught with many potential sources of error. This review focuses...

Longkankerrisico en blootstelling aan cadmium via het milieu : antwoord op de kritiek met toetsing van de causaliteit

NAWROT, Tim, Roels, H., Thijs, L., VANGRONSVELD, Jaco, Richart, T., Van Hecke, E., ...

Wij onderzochten of het risico van longkanker in verband staat met blootstelling aan cadmium via het leefmilieu. Daartoe werden 994 personen gerekruteerd door middel van een aselecte steekproef in...
