Then, 10 minutes of tidal breathing was recorded, followed by three measurements of multiple-breath washout.
Office or clinical BP office BP will be determined by three measurements of SBP and DBP, using the mean of the last two values, with a validated OMRON model M10-IT sphygmomanometer (Omron Health Care, Kyoto, Japan), according to the recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension.
This method can afford high accurate measurement results by only two measurements of scattering parameters.
The study is limited by having only two measurements of SRH and any interpretations of causality should be carefully approached.
Diagnosis of FH needs to be confirmed by at least two measurements of elevated LDL-C concentrations, due to biological and analytical variability of the assay.
All nephropathy patients were receiving chronic hemodialysis therapy, and control patients included those with normoalbuminuria determined by at least two measurements of the urinary ACR and with diabetes for >10 years (case subjects, n = 310; control subjects, n = 224).
Intra-assay reproducibility (CV = 0.4-4.7%) and accuracy (range: 97.4-102.3) were determined by performing three measurements of the same six standards on the same day.
Office or clinical blood pressure measurement was obtained by performing three measurements of systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), using the average of the last two, with a validated OMRON model M7 sphygmomanometer (Omron Health Care, Kyoto, Japan), and following the recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension [ 24].
The office blood pressure and heart rate measurement will be obtained by performing three measurements of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), with a validated sphygmomanometer, OMRON M7 model (Omron Health Care, Kyoto, Japan), following the recommendations of the European Society of Hypertension [ 31].
Three measurements of CO by LiDCO were used to measure CO at baseline and to calibrate PulseCO.
