BACKGROUND: Evidence shows that high 24-h blood pressure (BP) variability increases cardiovascular risk. We investigated whether 24-h BP variability relates to mortality and cardiovascular risk due to inherent variability and/or hypertensive loads in 24-h BP. METHODS: A total of 1050 participants from the Maracaibo Aging Study (mean age, 66y; women, 67.2%) underwent 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring and were followed between 2001-2016. To evaluate inherent BP variability, we used average real variability (ARV) as it captures variability among consecutive BP readings...

BACKGROUND: Telmisartan exhibits superior efficacy in controlling 24-hour blood pressure (BP) compared with other angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). However, data on its cardiovascular effects in patients with hypertension are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the cardiovascular outcomes in patients taking telmisartan compared to those taking other ARBs. METHODS: This multicenter retrospective study used data from the Korea University Medical Center database, built from electronic health records...

BACKGROUND: Few reports have focused on the association between apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (aTRH) and cardiovascular (CV) mortality in peritoneal dialysis (PD) population, thus we conducted this retrospective cohort to explore it.Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2011 to January 2020 with PD patients in 4 Chinese dialysis centers. ATRH was defined according to the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines...

BACKGROUND: We aim to determine the added value of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in stroke risk assessment for hypertensive Black adults. METHODS: We examined 1647 participants with hypertension without a history of cardiovascular disease, from the Jackson Heart Study. Cox regression analysis estimated hazard ratios (HR) for incident stroke per standard deviation increase in cIMT and quartiles while adjusting for baseline variables. We then evaluated the predictive capacity of cIMT when added to the pool cohort equations (PCE)...

INTRODUCTION: Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) is an effective strategy for managing and controlling hypertension. However, uncertainty regarding patients' ability to accurately measure their blood pressure (BP) contributes to treatment inertia. Therefore, we compared BP measurements with the Omron HEM-9210T device obtained by nurses and community-dwelling adults after training. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a simulated home environment at an academic institution...

BACKGROUND: Mid-life hypertension is associated with cognitive decline and dementia in later life. Reducing high blood pressure (BP) with antihypertensive agents is a well-researched strategy to prevent dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, there is still limited direct evidence to support the approach, and particularly for the treatment of the very old and those with existing MCI. METHODS: This review presents an overview of the current evidence for the relationship between MCI and hypertension, and of the potential pathophysiological mechanisms related to cognitive decline and incidence dementia in relation to aging...

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and a major public health issue worldwide. In Brazil, it affects approximately 52.5% of the adult population. We describe the solutions package and the impact of a population health initiative in São Paulo city, following the CARDIO4Cities approach for the management of cardiovascular risk. METHODS: Using a design thinking approach, interventions were developed with a coalition of local and international stakeholders to address needs of patients, healthcare professionals and the health system...

Fifty years ago, Dr. John Laragh brought forward the "vasoconstriction-volume hypothesis" of hypertension. This is Ohm's Law in blood pressure regulation, explicating hypertension as a consequence of increased peripheral vascular resistance, cardiac output, or both. Resistance vessels, those of a diameter less than 200 μm, determines mean arterial pressure by controlling peripheral vascular resistance. In comparison, large capacitance arteries, particularly the aorta, confines the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in physiological range through the "windkessel effect"...

BACKGROUND: Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of global blindness and is expected to co-occur more frequently with vascular morbidities in the upcoming years, as both are aging-related diseases. Yet, the pathogenesis of glaucoma is not entirely elucidated and the interplay between intraocular pressure, arterial blood pressure (BP) and ocular perfusion pressure is poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: This systematic review aims to provide clinicians with the latest literature regarding the management of arterial BP in glaucoma patients...

Hypertension is the single most important and modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide. Non pharmacologic interventions, in particular dietary modifications have been established to decrease blood pressure (BP) and hypertension related adverse cardiovascular events. Among those dietary modifications, sodium intake restriction dominates guidelines from professional organizations and has garnered the greatest attention from the mainstream media. Despite guidelines and media exhortations, dietary sodium intake globally has not noticeably changed over recent decades...

Many hypertension therapeutics were developed prior to major advances in drug receptor theory. Moreover, newer drugs may take advantage of some of the newly understood modalities of receptor function. The goal of this review is to provide an up-to-date summary of drug-receptor theory. This is followed by discussion of the drug classes recognized for treating hypertension to which new concepts in receptor theory apply. We raise ideas for mechanisms of potential new antihypertensive drugs and whether they may take advantage of new theories in drug-receptor interaction...

BACKGROUND: Self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring is increasingly used for remote hypertension management, but the real-world performance of home blood pressure (BP) devices is unknown. We examined BP measurements from patients' home devices using the American Medical Association's (AMA) Self-Measured Blood Pressure (SMBP) Device Accuracy Test tool. METHODS: Patients at a single internal medicine clinic underwent up to five seated, same-arm BP readings using a home device and an automated BP device (Omron HEM-907XL)...

BACKGROUND: Patients with resistant hypertension is the group of hypertensive patients with the highest cardiovascular risk. METHODS: All rules and guidelines for treatment of hypertension should be followed strictly to obtain blood pressure control in resistant hypertension. The mainstay of treatment of hypertension, also for resistant hypertension, is pharmacological treatment, which should be tailored to each patient's specific phenotype. Therefore, it is pivotal to assess non-adherence to pharmacological treatment as this remains the most challenging problem to investigate and manage in the setting of resistant hypertension...

The cardiovascular risk associated with LVH in the community and, particularly, in the hypertensive fraction of the general population, represents the rationale for its timely and accurate identification in order to implement adequate preventive strategies. Although electrocardiography (ECG) is the first-line and most economical method of diagnosing LVH its accuracy is largely suboptimal. Over the last seventy years, dozens of different ECG criteria, mostly based on measurements of QRS voltages, have been proposed...

BACKGROUND: It remains unclear whether systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) pressure and BP response after 6-minute walk test (6MWT) are associated with adverse outcomes in patients with acute heart failure (AHF). METHODS: We investigated these associations in 98 AHF patients (24.5% women; mean age, 70.5 years) enrolled in the ROSE trial (The Low-dose Dopamine or Low-dose Nesiritide in Acute Heart Failure with Renal Dysfunction). The primary endpoint consisted of any death or rehospitalization within 6month after randomization...
