We lose most of our best people in research.
Not because of talent, output, or lack of resilience. In many cases, not even because anyone (including them) want them to leave. It’s simply because we’re operating in a broken structure that needs fixing. Now.

Very happy to be part of this important and very timely position paper!
There is a lot we can do better to prevent cardiovascular death - not ignoring nocturnal blood pressure might be one of the central points we can improve!

Nocturnal blood pressure is a strong predictor of cardiovascular risk but what are its determinants? New ESH position paper highlights importance of monitoring & managing nocturnal BP. Check it out ➡️ journals.lww.com/jhypertensi… #NocturnalBP #sleep #Hypertension

Thrilled to share that my work on refining blood pressure measurement through accounting for hydrostatic pressure differences has been featured in the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) Perspectives in Hypertension.

Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping is more complicated than assumed!
Very grateful to all collaborators for the great effort to showcase this highly clinically relevant effect! Hypertension medicine still has huge unlockable potential to improve and save more patient lives.

Blood Pressure is crucial for Health and Longevity. Measuring it correctly is difficult - but can be done.
Proud of the team and special thanks to @PilzNiklas!

New #bloodpressure measurement devices such as cuff-less wrist monitors are likely to play an important role in future – but several challenges remain before these new technologies can be introduced widely - new @ISHBP position paper out today.

#RCM Welcome to read the new Review article

ALT Fig. 1. PWV surrogate parameters. The left panel (a) shows the schematic set-up of a pulse arrival time measurement device. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is placed on the patient’s thorax. A photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor is placed at the peripheral side (e.g., at the finger). Both devices are interconnected with a data recorder. The right panel (b) shows the relationship between the pre-ejection period, pulse transit time, and pulse arrival time.

Rich people spending money to go to space is pretty much the same thing as rich people making donations to opera/ballet/museums - putting up the money to let performers/curators/aerospace engineers do jobs that they want.
There are people who dream is to be a singer and people who's dream job is to build space ships.

Cuff-based blood pressure measurement has critical limitations. Measurement uncertainty leads to clinically relevant changes in mean BP and phenotype.
