OBJECTIVES: To integrate the results of studies which assess an association between blood lead and blood pressure. METHODS: We surveyed the existing literature using a MEDLINE search with blood lead and blood pressure as key words, including reports published from January 1980 to December 2000. The criteria for quality evaluation were as follows: 1) the study subjects must have been workers exposed to lead, and 2) both blood pressure and blood lead must have been measured and presented with sufficient details so as to estimate or calculate the size of the association as a continuous variable. Among the 129 articles retrieved, 13 studies were selected for quantitative meta-analysis. Before the integration of each regression coefficient for the association between blood pressure and blood lead, a homogeneity test was conducted. RESULTS: As the homogeneity of studies was rejected in a fixed effect model, we used the results in a random effect model. Our quantitative meta-analysis yielded weighted regression coefficients of blood lead associated with systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure results of 0.0047 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.0061, 0.0155) and 0.0004 (95% CI: -0.0031, 0.0039), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The published evidence suggested that there may be a weak positive association between blood lead and blood pressure, but the association is not significant.

6.Discrepancy in blood pressure between the left and right arms - importance of clinical diagnosis and role of radiological imaging

Introduction: Differences in systolic blood pressure reading
between arms are common but could signal trouble if the
discrepancy is significant. Early detection of aortic
dissection could invariably determine patient’s survivability.
Hence, a high index of suspicion with prompt diagnostic
imaging is vital for accurate diagnosis. Case Presentation: A
previously healthy 35-year-old lady was referred from
district hospital for hypertensive cardiomyopathy
complicated by acute pulmonary oedema. After being
admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, the mean arterial
pressure on the left arm was noted to be significant higher.
On physical examination, both lower limbs were dusky in
appearance because of poor perfusion. Investigations:
Computed Tomography Angiography showed extensive
arch and abdominal aorta dissection extending to the
proximal common carotid artery. There was distal abdominal
aorta thrombosis with partial left renal infarction.
Echocardiogram showed global hypokinesia, presence of
intimal flap, aortic regurgitation and mild pericardial
effusion. Supine chest X-ray showed apparent
cardiomegaly. Treatment: Repair of the ascending aortic
dissection and suspension of the aortic valve by the
cardiothoracic team on Day 2 of admission. The vascular
team did bilateral high above knee amputation on Day 9 of
admission. Outcome: Patient passed away on Day 10 of
admission. Discussion: With the absence of classical
features of aortic dissection, establishing the diagnosis can
be challenging and requires both good clinical judgment
and prompt radiological imaging, such that early treatment
can be initiated. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion and
good clinical judgment is needed in cases of significant
blood pressure discrepancy between arms.

7.A Brief Review on ACE I/D Gene Polymorphism and Blood Pressure Response to Exercise Training
Malaysian Journal of Medicine and Health Sciences 2018;14(Supplement 1):179-189
Exercise has been suggested as the best and the most affordable way for managing blood pressure. The insertion/ deletion of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D gene polymorphism had been reported to be linked with several diseases such as hypertension and diabetic nephropathy. Several studies showed that blood pressure response to exercise training for health management also vary among individuals with different genotypes of ACE I/D gene polymorphism. A study of 9 months of endurance exercise training at 75 to 85 % of VO2max showed that the decrease of resting blood pressure in I allele carriers wass greater than D allele carriers. In contrast, other study discovered that adult women with D allele had greater reduction in resting blood pressure than those with I allele, following a 12-week combined aerobic and resistance exercise training. Despite the inconsistencies of some findings, it has remained unknown if the ACE I/D gene polymorphism would also influence blood pressure response to isometric handgrip training that had been found to be superior to the dynamic resistance exercise training in controlling and preventing high blood pressure. Thus, this article was to review the literature on ACE I/D gene polymorphism and blood pressure response to exercise training that could serve as the basis for future research to identify individuals who will lower resting blood pressure the most with exercise training program for health management.

BACKGROUND
Hypertension is the most common risk factor for cardiovascular disease in the Philippines. Despite the availability of antihypertensive medications that are effective, safe, and tolerated by Filipino patients, the numbers of uncontrolled hypertensives are still increasing. Several factors play in the poor control of blood pressure, particularly resistant hypertension and hyperactive sympathetic nervous system. Renal denervation therapy is a novel device that has been shown to lower blood pressure in patients with resistant and difficult-to-treat hypertension and is deemed safe in clinical trials. A Philippine Working Group composed of specialists in cardiology, hypertension, vascular surgery, and clinical epidemiology has come up with consensus statements in identifying patients who will benefit from the procedure. Locally, there is a need to have hypertension centers treating uncontrolled and resistant hypertension and offer renal denervation therapy to appropriate Filipino patients.

10.Comparison of 2 invasive or non-invasive blood pressure measuring methods in shock patients
Journal of Practical Medicine 2005;512(5):82-85
Comparison of Korotkoff blood pressure measuring method and invasive blood pressure measuring method in shock patients at the age of over 16 years, treated in Bach Mai hospital from June 2004 to November 2004. The results: the Korotkoff method in shock patients showed less accurate outcome and higher errors of measurement than the invasive method. When systolic blood pressure <70mmHg or mean blood pressure <40mmHg, the errors of measurement between 2 methods increased 2 folds. In shock patients, the accuracy of the Korotkoff method gained acceptable level when systolic blood pressure ≥60mmHg
