• Abstract summary: Hypertension is a global health concern with an increasing prevalence, underscoring the need for effective monitoring and analysis of blood pressure dynamics. We analyzed a substantial BP dataset comprising 75,636,128 records from 2,054,462 unique patients collected between 2000 and 2022 at Emory Healthcare in Georgia, USA.

• Abstract: Hypertension is a global health concern with an increasing prevalence, underscoring the need for effective monitoring and analysis of blood pressure (BP) dynamics. We analyzed a substantial BP dataset comprising 75,636,128 records from 2,054,462 unique patients collected between 2000 and 2022 at Emory Healthcare in Georgia, USA, representing a demographically diverse population. We examined and compared population-wide statistics of bivariate changes in systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) across sex, age, and race/ethnicity. The analysis revealed that males have higher BP levels than females and exhibit a distinct BP profile with age. Notably, average SBP consistently rises with age, whereas average DBP peaks in the forties age group. Among the ethnic groups studied, Blacks have marginally higher BPs and a greater standard deviation. We also discovered a significant correlation between SBP and DBP at the population level, a phenomenon not previously researched. These results emphasize the importance of demography-specific BP analysis for clinical diagnosis and provide valuable insights for developing personalized, demography-specific healthcare interventions.

  Hypertension, defined as blood pressure (BP) that is above normal, holds paramount significance in the realm of public health. Existing BP measurement technologies and standards might be biased because they do not consider clinical outcomes, comorbidities, or demographic factors. We employed GPT-35-turbo, a large language model (LLM), to automatically extract the mean and standard deviation values of BP for both males and females from a dataset comprising 25 million abstracts sourced from PubMed.

  This study introduces four innovative strategies to enhance smartphone-based photoplethysmography for blood pressure estimation (SPW-BP) We employ often-neglected data-quality improvement techniques, such as height normalization, corrupt data removal, and boundary signal reconstruction. Correlation and SHAP analysis identified key features for improving BP estimation. However, Bland-Altman analysis revealed systematic biases, and MAE analysis showed that the results did not meet AAMI and BHS accuracy standards.

  Blood pressure (BP) monitoring plays a crucial role in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiovascular diseases.

BP measurements can demonstrate substantial biases and variances due to factors such as measurement and device errors, demographics, and body habitus.

  Most existing methods used in the hospitals for continuous monitoring of Blood Pressure (BP) are invasive. In this study, we explored the applicability of autoencoders in predicting BP from non-invasively collectible signals such as Photoplethysmogram ( PPG) and ECG signals. It was found that a very shallow, one-dimensional autoencoder can extract the relevant features to predict the SBP and DBP with the state-of-the-art performance on a very large dataset.
