Scientists at UCL have developed new technology which reveals that blood pressure measured close to the heart is much higher during sleep than previously thought. Night time blood pressure is a strong predictor of both heart disease and stroke, with previous studies establishing that blood pressure measured over the arm falls at night during sleep. However these new data indicate that the night-time decline in blood pressure may be less extensive than previously thought.

A dataset is a sequenced list of individual data items each with a clear label, definition and set of permissible values (codes and classifications) from which sets of data can be compiled. They are defined by the responsible project or professional groups.
Data may be entered directly using the supplied tool or imported from a third party software using scripts in the database. Third party suppliers who design files to be imported into the Central Cardiac Audit Database (CCAD) must construct the data as a quote delimited comma separated file where each line (tuple) represents a single patient procedure or event and the data items are all present in the correct sequence.
CCAD import scripts will detect whether 'additional' items are supplied and import these also. CCAD will accept either the 'short code' or the 'long code' listed in the datasets for import, and suppliers should note the exact form of the 'long code' which is a rubric prepended by the short code, a period and space.
Datasets have been developed
for each Heart Disease Audit. The latest versions of each can be found under each audit section. If you require earlier versions of any dataset please contact us at enquiries-nicor@ucl.ac.uk
