Blood Pressure Monitoring, Ambulatory

The Corsano CardioWatch 287-2 is a medical wearable device that can monitor blood pressure. The device has been validated using clinical trials in hospitals. The aim of this study is to further evaluate blood pressure measurements by the CardioWatch 287-2 in the intended remote setting across various demographic groups. Primary objective: To assess the difference in blood pressure measurements obtained by the Corsano CardioWatch 287-2 and auscultatory blood pressure monitoring over a period of 31 days. Secondary objective: To assess the usability of the Corsano CardioWatch 287-2 from a patient perspective. Participants receiving multiple standardized paired auscultatory and Corsano CardioWatch blood pressure measurements over a 31-day period. The study group will include patients of different ages (above the age of 22 years), genders, and demographics.

The primary aim is to determine whether non-dipping status is associated with adverse repolarization markers and impaired myocardial mechanics compared to dipper hypertensive patients. Secondary analyses will compare these findings among resistant vs. non-resistant and controlled vs. uncontrolled hypertensive groups. This study may provide new insights into the prognostic significance of blood pressure dipping patterns in hypertensive patients.

The goal of the clinical trial is to understand the effect of two resistance training protocols employing different loading intensities (% of 1 repetition maximum; 1-RM), but with standardized effort intensity (2 repetitions in reserve; RIR) on post-exercise and ambulatory blood pressure in aging females. The main questions it aims to answer are: * to examine the acute effects of low (50% 1-RM) and high (80% 1-RM) load intensity resistance exercise with a standardized high effort intensity on post-exercise hypotension and ambulatory blood pressure responses in aging females; * deepen the understanding of the mechanisms underlying acute reductions in blood pressure in response to resistance exercise performed at different load intensities. To this end, autonomic activity will be estimated alongside the measurement of central arterial compliance (i.e., carotid artery), and serum biomarkers of endothelial function; * document the affective valence and enjoyment associated with low (50% 1-RM) and high (80% 1-RM) load intensity resistance exercise when performed at a high perceived effort. Researchers will compare the effect of: 1) a low load (LL-RE) intensity protocol consisting of 3 sets of each exercise at 50% 1-RM, performed until reaching a hard perceived effort intensity (i.e., RIR-2); 2) high load (HL-RE) intensity protocol consisting of 3 sets of each exercise at 80% of 1-RM, performed until reaching a hard perceived effort intensity (i.e., RIR-2); 3) and a control condition (CON) consisting of a standardized non-fatiguing cognitive task. Participants will participate in: * A preliminary assessment visit; * Two familiarization visits to validate the exercise prescriptions; * Three experimental visits (CON, LL-RE, HL-RE).
