Lutgarde Thijs

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Blood pressure
• Cardiology

Lutgarde Thijs spends much of his time researching Internal medicine, Blood pressure, Cardiology, Surgery and Ambulatory. The study incorporates disciplines such as Placebo and Endocrinology in addition to Internal medicine. The Blood pressure study combines topics in areas such as Stroke and Hazard ratio.

His Cardiology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Meta-analysis, Antihypertensive drug, Arterial stiffness and Heart rate. His Surgery research incorporates themes from Pulse pressure, Predictive value of tests and Risk factor. He works mostly in the field of Ambulatory, limiting it down to concerns involving Circadian rhythm and, occasionally, Nocturnal, Circulatory system, Correlation coefficient and Balance.

His most cited work include:

• Randomised double-blind comparison of placebo and active treatment for older patients with isolated systolic hypertension * (2559 citations)
• Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults (2180 citations)
• Treatment of Hypertension in Patients 80 Years of Age or Older (2139 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Blood pressure, Cardiology, Ambulatory blood pressure and Surgery. His work in Internal medicine addresses subjects such as Endocrinology, which are connected to disciplines such as Population study. His work carried out in the field of Blood pressure brings together such families of science as Ambulatory, Placebo and Intensive care medicine.

His Cardiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Proportional hazards model, Pulse pressure, Arterial stiffness and Heart rate. His work deals with themes such as Body mass index, Diabetes mellitus, Nitrendipine, Confidence interval and Risk factor, which intersect with Surgery. Lutgarde Thijs studied Systolic hypertension and Hydrochlorothiazide that intersect with Enalapril.

He most often published in these fields:

• Internal medicine (72.81%)
• Blood pressure (61.13%)
• Cardiology (53.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

• Internal medicine (72.81%)
• Cardiology (53.83%)
• Blood pressure (61.13%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Cardiology, Blood pressure, Diastole and Ambulatory blood pressure. His research ties Endocrinology and Internal medicine together. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Cardiology, concentrating on Peripheral and intersecting with Pulsatile flow.

His study explores the link between Blood pressure and topics such as Ambulatory that cross with problems in Pediatrics. In Hazard ratio, Lutgarde Thijs works on issues like Proportional hazards model, which are connected to Risk factor. His research integrates issues of Pulse wave velocity and Diastolic function in his study of Arterial stiffness.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

• Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults (2180 citations)
• Association of Office and Ambulatory Blood Pressure With Mortality and Cardiovascular Outcomes. (92 citations)
• The Cardiovascular Risk of White-Coat Hypertension (78 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Internal medicine
• Blood pressure
• Cardiology

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Cardiology, Blood pressure, Endocrinology and Ambulatory blood pressure. His Renal function, Cohort, Hazard ratio, Systole and Arterial stiffness investigations are all subjects of Internal medicine research. As part of his studies on Cardiology, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Diastole.

The various areas that he examines in his Blood pressure study include Stroke, Ambulatory, Confidence interval and Risk factor. The concepts of his Ambulatory study are interwoven with issues in Pediatrics and Intensive care medicine. His studies deal with areas such as Inflammation, Xanthine oxidase and Allele as well as Endocrinology.
