Thus, an increased PWV reflects 3 potential risk factors: increased systolic pressure, widened pulse pressure, and altered vascular wall properties.
Research Highlights: A study of people ages 70 and older found walking an additional 500 steps per day, or an additional quarter mile of walking, was associated with a 14% lower risk of heart disease, stroke or heart failure. Compared to adults wh
Oura’s latest study indicates that covid-19 can impact biometrics like temperature, heart rate, heart rate variability, and sleep up to 2.5 days before symptoms and for several weeks after.
c BP (DBP) compared to conventional ambulatory monitoring (ABPM); and antihypertensive medication-induced BP changes compared to cuff-based home BP monitoring (HBPM).
Methods:
We fitted 41 participants (32% females, 58 ± 14 years, 80% hypertensive) with a wrist-wearable cuffless BP device (Aktiia) continuously for 6–12 days. At the beginning and the end of this period, 24-h ABPM was performed. Three participants with hypertension (one female; 60 ± 8 years) wore the Aktiia device and performed HBPM continuously one week before and 2 weeks after antihypertensive medication uptitration.
Results:
Compared to ABPM, Aktiia reported higher average SBP for 24-h (difference 4.9 mmHg, 95% CI [1.9, 7.9]) and night-time (15.5[11.8, 19.1] mmHg; all P ≤ 0.01), but similar daytime (1.0 [–1.8, 3.8] mmHg; P = 0.48). Similarly, average cuffless DBP was higher for 24-h (4.2 [2.3, 6.0] mmHg) and night-time (11.8 [9.5, 14.1] mmHg; both P < 0.001), but similar during daytime (1.4 [–0.4, 3.23] mmHg; P = 0.13). Aktiia also reported reduced night-time dip for SBP (difference 14.2 [12.1, 16.3] mmHg) and DBP (10.2 [8.5, 11.9] mmHg; both P < 0.001). The average medication-induced SBP/DBP decline after 2 weeks of uptitration was –1.0/–0.8 mmHg with Aktiia vs. –19.7/–11.5 mmHg with HBPM (P = 0.03 for difference).
Conclusion:
This cuffless wearable device did not accurately track night-time BP decline and results suggested it was unable to track medication-induced BP changes.

It is unclear how frequently the Apple Watch produces spO2 measurements outside of the normal range in healthy individuals at rest. We conducted a head-to-head comparison in 38 healthy individuals between two watches and two medical-grade pulse oximeters.
Habitual moderate-to-vigorous–intensity physical activity attenuates arterial stiffening. However, it is unclear whether light physical activity also attenuates arterial stiffening. It is als
Wearable technology will soon become widespread and as regularly used as putting on shoes before leaving the house. Heck, I’m writing this newsletter with my Garmin watch on my left wrist and my WHOOP band on my right bicep. All I need is a wearable to measure my electrolytes. Then I’m set. I’m not the…
