Winter-summer differences in the effects of emotion, posture and place of measurement on blood pressure

Circumstances of death in adult congenital heart disease

“…Seasonal variation in mortality in other cardiovascular diseases is often described, and numerous explanations have been given [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In our study, life style changes [36,37] and concomitant infectious diseases (such as influenza, pneumonia or other respiratory infections) could explain this little peak in fall [11]. The latter concurs with our finding that signs of infection often precede death.…”

Extreme changes in dietary sodium effect daily variability and level of blood pressure in borderline hypertensive patients

“…It has previously been shown that the variability of pressure associated with posture and situation of measurement differs by sex and time of year (James et al, 1988b(James et al, , 1990). The present study shows that the variability of systolic, but not diastolic, pressure associated with these and other factors may also change depending on the sodium balance of the subjects.…”

Seasonal changes in orthostatic hypotension among elderly admitted patients

“…Even so, the difference in average outdoor temperature between the seasons was moderate (12.7ºC). The choice of "hot" and "cold" seasons is usually influenced by the actual climate conditions in the research area and may differ in various studies (19,20).…”
