The most dramatic effects were a nearly 2 mmHg rise in diastolic (the low number) blood pressure when the odor was rated an 8 compared with no odor, and a nearly 3 mmHg rise in systolic (the high number) blood pressure when hydrogen sulfide concentrations reached 10 parts per billion compared with no detectable level, the researchers reported last week in Environmental Health Perspectives.

«Using exposure to nitrogen dioxide as a surrogate for exposure to traffic - related air pollution, we were able to demonstrate for the first time that higher levels of exposure were associated with greater right ventricular mass and larger right ventricular end - diastolic volume.

• Diastolic blood pressure levels below 70 mmHg were associated with a higher risk of death, but otherwise they showed no association with cardiovascular outcomes.

More than half of the 211,667 participants actively treated for blood pressure had moderately low (SBP of 120 to 129 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure [DBP] less than 65 mm Hg) or very low (SBP less than 120 mm Hg or DBP less than 65 mm Hg) blood pressure levels.

They focused on four outcome measures: each patient's latest systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels, whether their blood pressure was under control, and dose escalation for patients whose pressures were not adequately controlled.

There were also changes in their waist circumference, waist - to - hip ratio, diastolic blood pressure (the lower of the two blood pressure readings), resting heart rate and levels of HDL - cholesterol.

Specifically, outcomes were assessed after 2, 6, and 12 months, with measurements for insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic, diastolic, blood pressure, and glucose levels all significantly better for Atkins patients than for patients in any other group.

A higher level of diastolic but not systolic BP was reported in children with obstructive sleep apnea compared with primary snorers.21 The Tucson's Children's Assessment of Sleep Apnea Study found that elevations in systolic and diastolic BPs were independently associated with sleep efficiency, respiratory disturbance index (a measure of sleep apnea), and obesity in 230 children 6 to 11 years of age.22 To the best of our knowledge, no studies have examined the association between insufficient sleep and BP in adolescents free of sleep apnea.
