Central Blood Pressure in Adolescents and Young Adults

September 13, 2017 updated by: George S. Stergiou, University of Athens

Diurnal Variation of Central Blood Pressure in Adolescents and Young Adults and Association With Indices of Asymptomatic Target-organ Damage

This study aims to investigate in adolescents and young adults:

  • the 24h diurnal variation of ambulatory central blood pressure
  • the association of central compared to peripheral blood pressure with indices of asymptomatic target-organ damage

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Correlation coefficients (r) between 24h ambulatory central blood pressure and indices of target-organ damage
Time Frame: Assessment of each individual will require up to 3 days
Correlation coefficients (r) will be determined for the relationship between central blood pressure and indices of target-organ damage (left ventricular mass index, carotid intima-media thickness, pulse wave velocity). Also, these coefficients will be compared with z-statistic with the respective ones for the peripheral blood pressure.
Assessment of each individual will require up to 3 days
